Hi, normal EKG do not always rule out heart disease. Your husband might be having chronic stable angina which comes out only on exertion. Please ask your cardiologist for a treadmill test or coronary angiography. If they are normal, then you can think of other benign causes. Till then ask him not to undergo any kind of exertion. All the best.
