A member asked:
My boyfriend told me tgat he has been having chest pain on his left side he said feels like cramping over his heart is this bad?

Yes: Take him to the hospital - call 911. Don't drive him. One of the worrisome things this could be is a heart attack or blockage that would lead to a future heart attack. It may be something less serious but you can't take chances with this. His life may depend on it.
