Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. No need to worry for major heart related diseases because her ER visit was normal. Sometimes, stress and anxiety related GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can cause heaviness in chest. So better to take him to psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in his life and start working on it's solution. He may need anxiolytic drugs too. Also give him pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach. Ask him to avoid stress and tension. Also avoid hot and spicy food. Don't worry, he will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
