Hi Ladies,

 I am just a wreck at the moment. DH went to the DR yesterday b/c I made him go, he was complaining of a dull pain in his chest for about a month. He never gets sicks EVER and hates going to the dr.!!  His job is hard labor working outside. He finally went and they did an EKG and the dr suspects an enlarged heart so he has to go today to the hospital to get an echocardiogram. He has never had any heath issues, never gets sick, EVER!! I am totally frreaking out right now. Yesterday was my due date and I know that I am more emotional than normal but I am so scared!  Here I am about to give birth and my husband has to have these tests on his HEART.  I so wish I would have gone to the appt with him to get all the details b/c he was very vague(MEN) I am going with him today to get the echo. I have been crying non stop since yesterday afternoon when he got home. Cried myself to sleep and woke up crying. I am trying to stop b/c I know this stress is not good for the baby. I want our baby here so bad right now and I don't want anything to happen my husband.  He is such a laid back person and doesn't let hardly anything bother him and last night he was just kind of depressed and he never acts like this.  I just want everything to be ok.  I am praying so hard that things will be ok. We go in at 3pm for the echo so I have got to keep myself busy to keep my mind off of this. Thanks for letting me get this out!

    Hang in there.  The most important thing is that he's addressing the issue - and that he is already in the care of doctors.  The key to heart stuff is finding things as early as possible.  T &P to you!!!

    Try not to stress, this same thing just happened to my FIL, and all the tests came back fine, he has an enlarged heart, but many men have one and don't know. The issue is just that his heart is pumping to hard (is he stressed) If he relaxes it may help. Maybe he should get a spa treatment massage or something. No worries he will be fine. My FIL is ok he just needs to take it easy and get tested again in 90 days. They will give him a low dose medicine to help his heart.

    Try not to think the worst.... the worst is open heart surgery, but it can be repaired and he will be fine. My thoughts and prayers are with you, be strong for you and LO !

    I know this is stressful but it doesn't mean the worst case scenario. Often an enlarged heart is caused by a hole in the heart (has he ever been told he has a heart murmur?). What happens is the hole allows extra blood flow into the heart so it gets bigger. This is what my daughter had. When she was 1 her heart was the size of a 5 year old's heart. The good news is this is fixable. And the best news is that it was caught. Of course it may be an entirely different situation for your husband but really it is absolutely the best thing ever that this was caught BEFORE anything bad happened. Please update us later when you know what's going on!

    T&P your way.

    Hopefully it will be nothing.   However, if it is something, I am so thankful for you that it was found before he had an attack.  Hopefully if there is anything that it is easily treated.

    Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
