His GP gave him some strong antianxiety meds and said he needs a therapist. This is probably true but I think, for piece of mind, DH needs to go to a few drs, have some tests run, etc. We have good ins, I will explain the whole deal to the drs but I don't even know where to start. He says his lungs hurt sometimes, his stomach does all the time as does his heart.
