He's going to be all right, isn't he?

DH has had chest pains for more than 12 hours. He told me this morning, I went straight on to NHS direct and it said call 999. I made him ring the out of hours doctor and they said he has to go to A & E to have a trace put on to check it isn't his heart. I am just waiting for his parents to get hereto have the kids.

oh, fab, how worrying for you all. He's in the right place now (cliche, I know), fingers crossed it's just indigestion.

Hope he is ok

We are back. He had an ECG done.

He has costochondritis.

Never been so scared in all my life.

what is it?
Sorry xx

How worrying, but thank goodness it's not his heart. Now go pamper him and yourself.

It is inflammation of the chest wall and something to do with the cartiledge.(can't spell it). He has medicine to take.

Found this on Netdoctor

Hope he is feeling a lot better now.

does it need any further treatment?
Couldn't tell, are you still scared, or reassured?

Thank you MrsGok.

Stealth - he has to take tablets for 3-5 days and that is is it I think. He was going to go in to work tmw and do some IT stuff while no one else is there but isn't now. I am still concerned but not so scared. Just want him well.

Good, hope he is well soon. What a scare!

Have had that before, can be very sore. Glad its not his heart.

Bloody costochondritis! I have had that, it does feel dangerous and heart-related but totally isn't. He will be right as rain in a few days. DP told me it was 'real' (he is a dr). Felt bloody real to me!
