DH and odd behaviour recently

[GettingFatterByTheDay]

Few examples. Randomly shouting and screaming then making out that he was as surprised as me by it.

Asked me yesterday to bring the biscuits in from kitchen ... “will you bring the BISCUITS in? The fucking biscuits!” Followed by a scream. He doesn’t normally swear in normal conversation or if he does it’s not a common occurrence

He’s just rang me and said the following:

“On your way home from work will you pick up some milk and maybe grab some FUCKING FLAPJACKS or something to NIBBLE ON like a BASTARD RABBIT”. I said “why are you shouting??” And he said he didn’t mean to. This is not normal for him! He doesn’t go out of his way to seek attention or be funny. All these example are from the past week. He’s been isolating

He needs to have a medical assessment, it sounds like some sort of neurological disruption to me. Potentially he has had a very small bleed on the brain or something that is affecting his behaviour. Please get it seen sooner rather later for peace of mind if nothing else. Best of luck x

Very worrying, I agree to recording it but also writing it down as sometimes they won’t listen to a recording if the patient hasn’t agreed to it.

I too would be worried about something neurological going on and feel he needs to see a GP for a possible referral ASAP.

Adults can suddenly develop Tourette's.

I would get it check out. For sure.

If he has recently started or stopped a medication, I would look at that first.

If he has diabetes I would consider whether it could be a mild hypo, in which case his insulin regime or meds may need adjustment.

First port of call should be the GP. He is probably very afraid of what's happening and is sticking his head in the sand. Be reassuring but tell him that he must seek medical attention because you are very concerned for his health.

Don't, for the love of god, suggest he might have a brain tumour or dementia.

Has he got a friend or sibling he is close to and would listen to more than you? Maybe persuade him to get checked out ? My dp is great but Sometimes if I tell him to get the car checked because it’s making a funny noise he looks at me like I’m mad, if I tell his best pal who he idolizes a bit to mention it, it’s all ‘oh, best pal has mentioned the car sounded funny, I’m taking it to the garage’ 😂

So maybe you’re DP would be more accepting if it was someone else mentioning it?

I really think he must see his GP as soon as possible, my DM had a brain tumour and one of the earliest signs was an episode where she came back into the room and spoke in a different manner to normal. Hope all is OK 💐

Look at how many different osmo diagnosis you have here. Speak to a GP.

Very worrying, all sorts of alarm bells ringing.
He really needs to see a gp ASAP
Hope he takes you seriously

Are you ok? I suspect this thread hasn't gone how you expected and have gone from being annoyed and puzzled to terrified.

Not to be alarmist ....has he been overdosing on BBC News, social media and Netflix (if he's a middle aged British white guy)

I think he needs medical attention it sounds extremely odd behaviour but could be indicative of so mamy conditions.

@GettingFatterByTheDay I hope you’re ok. People are bandying around brain tumours, Tourette’s, dementia and blood-borne diseases, but no one here is his doctor and so please try not to be too panicked by these comments.

Get a GP appointment if possible, it’ll probably be over the phone or Zoom. C

Perhaps a urinary infection, is he hydrating enough?

Sorry you (and your husband) are going through this

I would advise that he speaks to his GP. If he won't, speak, you could ask your GP for advice.

It could be any one of a number of things but the best thing to do is ask a doctor.

He needs to see a Doctor and soon, You need to phone in the morning, if he gets really bad tonight call 111

I don’t think you should just put this down to stress. It sounds terribly worrying. At least ring the GP.

I don’t think anybody is intending to scare the op (although I appreciate, you must feel that way!!!) I think it’s more trying to get across how this really COULD be serious, and hoping that OPs husband considers the same x

Oh god everyone has gone to real extreme here - dementia and emergency doctors appts over a couple of weeks of weirdness.

Probably a combo of being stressed and stir crazy

I agree he needs to see a doctor urgently. It’s neurological.

Get him to go to GP

Get a gp appointment. If he's not aware he's doing it. It could be tourettes or something.

Healthcare professional here. If this is a sudden behaviour change, then your husband needs to be seen urgently. I would recommend that you telephone 111 and get him an appointment to be seen at a walk in or urgent treatment centre

Forgot to say, if you cant get somewhere today, 111 might also be able to get you an urgent appt at your GP. He does need to be assessed asap though.
