[|Human|] Hello, my husband just told me he has for the past week he has been feeling a excitable feeling in the chest as if he is on a roller coaster. He says it doesnt hurt and that it feels that it takes a lil bit of your breath away like when your coming down from a roller coaster. He is diabetic but has been off metformin because his Dr. said that he was doing so well that he could get off the medication. My husband is a truck driver and doesnt sleep a whole lot maybe 5 or 6 hours.My husband is 48 maybe 170lb 58
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should definitely rule out heart diseases like early heart failure and coronary artery disease (CAD) in his case because both of them can cause similar kind of symptoms. And since he is diabetic, he is at risk of heart diseases. So better to consult doctor and get done 1. Blood pressure monitoring 2. ECG 3. 2d echo 4. Stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about major heart related diseases. Since he is truck Chat Doctor.  This stress can also cause similar symptoms. So ask him to avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours in night. Don't worry, he will be alright but first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
