My husband has a pacemaker and is very active, playing tennis regularly and exercising. In the past couple of days, hes been experiencing some chest pain during exercise, but not after exercise.  Im concerned and want him to call his heart doctor, but he wants to keep waiting it out a few days to see if it goes away.  Suggestions?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely because he is having chest pain only during exercise. But better to rule out heart diseases first as he is having pacemaker. So first get done ECG. If this is normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid exercise for few days. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Don't worry, he will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
