Took him to A&E yesterday as he fell at the gym and we thought he had broken his wrist (thankfully just a sprain) however during their examinations they were worried about his circulation as his hands and lower arms were going blue and were cold to the touch, they advised we needed to make an appointment with his GP for further investigation.
Managed to get a GP appointment for 3pm today as the hospital suspect he could possibly have Raynaud's syndrome/disease
GP took his blood pressure and it was 177/127 , they thought the machine was faulty so got a another one and it was the same.
We had to take him straight to A&E, they’ve been trying to get bloods for the last 6 hrs but his veins keep collapsing and are unable to obtain his bloods, 2 doctors and 3 nurses have all tried with all sorts of needle sizes/cannulas etc… even with a vein scan machine, he’s been poked and prodded more times than we an count,
They’ve done a serious of tests, ECG, blood pressure cuffs on his arms and lower legs every 60 mins.
His only symptoms are some slight dizziness and some blurred vision, because of this they carried out a test where they turned the lights off and shown a torch in his eye… however the drs body language changed, she went and got her senior doctor to look and they redone the test.
We were then told to wait in the room as they needed to speak to a more senior doctor.
We were then put into a room, nurse came in about 45 mins later and advised he was being admitted, we asked why and she said has no one told you anything and we said no.
Doctor has come in and said DS is being transferred to another hospital, either tonight or tomorrow morning, he needs to see an specialist eye doctor , he also needs a urgent CT scan, possibly MRI and a heart scan as his ECG has shown some concerns and did we know he had a heart murmur.
They also need to get his bloods urgently somehow.
I’m not naive, I know what they are suspecting, I just need to be positive and hopefully the scans show nothing.
