CALL 911 HE'S GONNA CODE!

heart attack or congestive heart failure or both. i hope you have this person seeing a doctor immediately!

Okay, what's your question? Your telling me that an elderly man is having chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Sounds like a Heart Attack, is it sudden onset or chronic? Any history of Cardiovascular problems, either personally or in his family? Has any nitro been given to lesson the pain (given of course he does not take Viagra) . What is your question though?

If this is going on right now and you decided to post a question on youqa.coms before calling ALS I think you are the dumbest person alive!

could be a heart attack doesnt have to be painful. may be congestive heart failure are lungs filling , retention of water weight loss etc.

Call 911, if he is on nitroglycerin and is also having chest pains give him one of those until the paramedics arive.

when in doubt call 9-1-1

Well hot damn... You can either call 911 and get some people out there who DONT have to ask that question or you can sit around and take start a betting pool on how long its gonna take the ol bastard to code.
