What do you suggest if my father is diabetic and is having chest pains?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be anything: Hi. Chest pains are non-specific, but we evaluate them in the order of most serious first and and then move on to consider less serious causes. Since the most serious would be angina, because it could signal en evolving heart attack, I'd say take him to the ER to evaluate the heart, or at least call his doctor (who knows his case). Good luck.
