Smdh, I think he's lying so you can feel sorry for him. My ex does the same thing. He grabs his chest and says he has pains and complains of migraines from stress.
I cut contact with him and he said it put him in the hospital, and he was showing me the papers and his little wristband. Now he tries to use that as a way to make me answer his calls saying "You can't do this to me. You know I worry about you and I have a high blood pressure".
I told him he can't expect me to care when he still smokes cigarettes everyday, showing that he doesn't care about his health.
Men will try anything, lol.
