Ds2 who's profoundly deaf and autistic just rang me via type talk to say he had chest pains and felt clammy. He's rang an ambulance and support staff are on their way... He keeps apologising to me for waking me up. His temperature is 34.4. Hope the support staff and ambulance arrive soon. I'm very scared and so is he.

He's doing a LF test now. If it's positive I'm going back home. Just waiting to hear...

Make sure if he gets chest pains and feels clammy again to not hesitate in ringing an ambulance again. Did they just do an ECG? I don’t want to scare you but I had an ECG before which came back clear, it was only when I had an actual scan on my heart a problem was detected. I would have gone home too but as the heart problem was in the family, they did it as a pro caution.

That’s good news.

Wishing you and him all the best

Glad to hear he is OK Flowers

Give Wilf a hug from his MN aunties. How scary for you all, glad it’s mostly resolved. Has he had a cough? Lots of coughing can hurt your chest.

On the second train with a loud shouty sweary man behind me. He's got a laugh like Mike Reid late of Eastenders. Music on v loud on my phone. Hope the guard doesnt tap my arm and make me jump... Going to try and sleep...

Great news ! Hope you and Wilf will be tucked up nice and cosy for SCD tonight. xx

Yiayoula · 30/10/2021 13:13

Pumpkinsondisplay · 30/10/2021 13:14

My ds had similar a couple of years ago. Energy drinks being the cause... He thought he was having a heart attack.. He was 25. Terrifying..
Glad your ds is OK op.
