DH is an extremely stressed workaholic. He goes through cycles of this and usually comes out the other side. This time, it’s only getting worse. It’s been building for months. I’ve been encouraging him to exercise, eat properly and he doesn’t smoke and barely drinks.
Last weekend he had a couple of what, if he wasn’t in his 50’s, I’d call febrile convulsions in the middle of the night. Absolutely flat out refused to go to the doctor and they were so brief I only had time to turn him on his side before he came round, although he did hit the floor like a sack of spuds. No family history of epilepsy, but he has had a couple of these before, but not for a long time. Back then they couldn’t find anything, so this time he refused to go to the doctors.
Today he’s been sent home from work. Had a sandwich and gone to bed, feeling dreadful. He’s reassured me he’s not got any chest pain. But he must be feeling ghastly to come home – he was due to be in a major meeting this afternoon.
I’m desperately worried and have FINALLY persuaded him to go to the doctor, he’s got an appointment on Friday and has promised me he’ll tell them what happened at the weekend.
I don’t even know why I’m posting really. I’m panicking a bit and it’s not like anyone can diagnose him through a computer screen.
It could all be stress, can't it?
