Hello and welcome.
Thank you for the query.
Your husbands presentation is in fact a serious one. Without further ado (delay), I request you take him to the doctor, for an ECG and measuring cardiac enzymes, to detect any underlying condition.
You should not ignore such a condition, even more as he has a congenital valve condition.
Please do not take lightly.
Wishing you and your husband the best of health.
