The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] My husband went to the doctor complaining of left chest pain under his breast, left arm tingling and numb or tingling lips.  He has high blood pressure.   He was told that he had inflmation of the cartilage and sent home.    They did not do an ekg.    When he sits down in a chair at night he is instantly asleep.   I worry that it is something more serious but he is convinced that it is just a strain.
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I agree with you that his symptoms (especially the tingling lips) are not typical of a cartilage inflammation. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with his doctor and performing some tests: - a chest X-ray study- a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound- a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries to exclude possible narrowing and low blood flow to the brain-complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation. You should discuss with his doctor on the above issues. Wishing good health,
