My husband had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance last night with chest pains. He has heart palpatations normally, but his blood pressure went really high along with the chest pains. Thank god everything turned out to be his heart palpatations and major stress. The neighbor and his mess has gotten worse and finally sent my husband to the hospital. I don't know what to do. I would just appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Ten years ago my own hubby's "chest pains" turned literally overnight into a full on heart attack, triple bypass, and 12 long weeks of recovery. It's scary as hell, so I know where you're coming from. Now is the time to make him understand that he's allowing his stress to kill him.
I don't know the backstory here, but no one and nothing is worth getting so stressed that you leave the ones you love grieving. If you don't do it now, start going for a walk with him every evening. It will improve his health (and yours), will help lower his blood pressure, will burn off stress, and will give him the time to reconnect with you, nature, and what's really important in life.
I used to routinely work 60-70 hours weeks, and put myself under a lot or pressure. Now I spend my "overtime" with the man I came close to losing.
Most importantly, don't overlook your own health, and your own stress. Be kind to yourself. Give yourself permission to be angry and scared. It's going to sound silly, but grab a big bowl of ice cubes, go outside, and smash every single one on the sidewalk. It sounds like breaking glass, no mess to clean up, no one gets hurt, and it relieves a lot of tension. Then go and kiss your husband, and know that a there are a lot of strangers here in cyberspace who will be pulling for you.
Be at peace.
