Should oh go to gp?

Name changed because health stuff
My oh (49) told me he was woken at 5.45am because of a pain that started in his back but moved across his chest, up to his jaw and ‘a bit’ down his left arm. He says it only lasted a minute or so and he didn’t want to disturb me at the time. So he just went back to sleep (until 9am).
He said it’s the second time it has happened. But puts it down to ‘age’.
I think he should go and see the doctor. He says it’s a waste of time.
Should I push the point? Or let him ignore it?

Yes I would get him to see a doctor ASAP

Get this checked out ASAP, it sounds like his heart!

For sure yes. Might be noting but absolutely get it checked

Please send him to the doctor. DF died of a heart attack and in hindsight there were signs which had he followed up on them could have saved his life. X

Thank you. He seems to think it is a fuss over nothing. But if so, then it won’t take long will it? Or perhaps he’s a bit worried and would rather not hear bad news. He won’t really talk about it.
