I wouldn't wait - if this is a different kind of pain, then go. My father described his heart attack as being like enormous pressure on his chest. Not at all what you see on TV or in movies. He described it as feeling as though there was an elephant sitting on his chest.

I hope that your husband isn't having serious problems, but with that description, I'd be off like a flash. Let us know how you get on.
