TTC After a Loss

Hubby had a slight Heart attack.

Tuesday night I got home from work he was laying on the couch telling me he was in pain and having hard time breathing. He kept saying his chest felt so tight and he could not breathe.

I was an EMT about 6 years ago so I went thru his symptoms and checked his pulse and told him we were going to the ER.

My husband is very stubborn.

So he was feeling better Wednesday morning ( I slept like crap cause I kept waking up to see if he was ok)  He went to the dentist to get a tooth pulled. They took his blood pressure and it was 148/92 so they told him they would not pull his tooth and he needed to go to the doc.

The doc saw him right away, they gave him some blood thinning pills and set him up for stress tests this morning.

He just called me. He said that the stress test and the ultrasound on his heart showed he has a slight heart attack and that his left side of his heat is enlarged. They want him to see a cardiologist.

My husband is 33 years old. If I lose him my world will be over.

So if you can send T&P's i'm a wreck, and he is very calm about it. Even making jokes about if I shoudl get the $500K life insurance policy now so I can be set.

  • Oh hon I am so sorry. T&P coming. My husband also recieved a life altering diagnosis about his health the same day we lost our son, and it REALLY rocked our world. I am praying he will be OK.

  • That is really scary, I hope he is going to be okay.
  • Praying for both of you.
  • Thanks girls. I have been on pins and needles wanting to know how he is. And it came at the worst possible time, not like any other time is better. But I fear if something really goes bad we are only covered by insurance until Sept 15th..
  • That's scary.  Hopefully the cardiologist can come up with a treatment plan for him and he recovers quickly.

  • Oh my, I am so sorry hun. That is definitely a scary thing to go through. Your DH is so young, which is definitely something that is in his favour. It just means he'll be able to bounce back from this quicker.

    Is there a history of heart disease in his family?

    ETA: sorry, I hit send to quickly. I meant to say that I will definitely keep you and DH in my T&P's.

  • Oh I am so sorry. I totally thought you were just being funny with your post title, I did NOT expect to read this.

    I'll definitely say a prayer for you and your husband. Is he going to go see the cardiologist? He can't be stubborn about his health. Does his family have a history of heart disease?

  • OMG!  You were so good in treating him right away, though, and glad he eventually went in, even if it was much later.  He needs to take it easy; he's way too young for this!

    I hope that b/c it was mild, it will cause him to be a little more vigilant from here on out and not hesitate to get care in the future.  ((HUGS))) You have to be so scared right now.  I'm praying for you and DH.

  • Oh jeez, I'm so sorry to hear that. Hopfulyl the cardiologist can provide the care he needs to get back on a healthy track. This post kind of has me worried now because the last time my DH went to the doctor his bp was 143/90. Of curse, he was in pain with his back, but not that much pain. I guess if it was anything to worry about though, surely his doctor would have said something.

  • Oh sweetie, I am so sorry.  I hope everythings ok.  I know you were joking but you shouls alreafy have had a life insurance policy set up, I worry that it will be more expensive to get one now if DH does have  a heart condition.

    Again, I am so so glad the dentist and you got him to go to the dr!
