WWYD - sleep problem

16 replies

lockdownwithwhoresdrawers · 24/04/2021 16:15

Husband, who has a minor heart condition that does make him a bit more tired has been asleep since bedtime last night (10:30pm) including a trip to a park where he stumbled around with his eyes barely open, and wasn't coherent when I spoke to him (thought a tree was DS and completely disoriented). Went to his parents and he was asleep at the table immediately, then made his way over to the garden shed and slumped up against it sleeping like some kind of drunken teen. Took him back home again (I drove as he couldn't even open the car doors properly) and he has been asleep since. I can only rouse him by shaking him repeatedly even though DC are being extremely loud. Disclaimer that he is deaf but he shouldn't be especially tired at the moment, this kind of sleeping seems bizarre though. I have thought about narcolepsy, but it seems very sudden. Happy to be corrected though!

A and e. Now.

Yes, you need to take him to a&e.

His heart condition is a bicuspid aorta, due for an op when he is 60 (37 now). Don't know if that makes any difference

I've done his sats and they are fine, his resting heart rate is 79bpm, also fine

A and E, obviously...

Op don't understand why you are just continuing to post when your husband seriously needs medical help.

DancesWithDaffodils · 24/04/2021 16:23

So, basically he slept all night, and has either been sleeping, or incoherent and attempting to sleep all day?
A&E

Of course he is protesting any medical help (both work in a major teaching hospital so not sure why he is being like this)

I'd get him seen by a doctor today

Wishing I had sorted out that POA for health now!

He's clearly not with it. Call 999 if you have to.

Fabulous. Whilst I was counselling with DH about going to ED, the nightmare neighbour knocks to inform me of my unsupervised child in the garden knocking a small hole in her fencing which she is about to get redone. Lord help me today.

He's been awake since I last posted but with a bit of nodding off on the sofa. Not exactly alert and certainly not in a fit state to drive. He says he still feels tired but not budging on the medical help front. He says if he feels the same way tomorrow he will go in.

How does your Dh feel now @lockdownwithwhoresdrawers?

lockdownwithwhoresdrawers · 28/04/2021 04:29

He feels ok, was really bouncing around on Monday. But since it all happened he can barely sleep at night! He hasn't been to sleep yet and it's 4:29am GMT!!!

OP there is no other advice to be given here other than to get him seen by a doctor. I don't know what you're expecting by posting on mumsnet - obviously he needs to go to A&E or at the very least call 111 for proper medical advice.
