Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for heart diseases for his left sided electric shock like feelings as his ecg s on 3 occasions are normal.
Since he is suffering from anxiety and depression, his chest symptoms are suggestive of uncontrolled anxiety.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in his life and start working on its solution.
He may need anxiolytic and anti depressant drugs too.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
