Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

If he is having vomiting, chest pain and sweating, you must take him to the ER and get him screened for a possible heart attack. An ECG and echocardiography are important. Taking ibuprofen on empty stomach can cause further pains too and lead to gastritis. This should be told to your doctor. Stopping smoking may require professional help. It can be sorted out at a later date. Insist on him taking regular medications and following up with his doctor.

Hope this helps
