Dear Naomi
You can't get a minor heart attack just as you can't get a minor pregnancy - he probably gets angina, which means that the bloodvessels to the heart may be narrowed. It means he can get a real heart attack if you don't do something soon - he needs to change his lifestyle and get medication for the current problems. Best to see a physician.
