What Causes Diarrhea, Gastric And Painful Arm With History Of Heart Attack?

Hai,

It is a thin line tto differentiate chest pain and gastric pain.
however, as your husband got a history of heart attack ,better to go ahead for a ECG to rule out.
as diarrhea and gas formation may give some discomfort in chest as well.

so visit a physician for further advise.
