Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely take him to cardiologist.
Possibility of congestive heart failure (CHF) is more likely because of chest congestion, chest pain and breathlessness.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
He may need diuretics and other cardiac supportive drugs.
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.
