The future of dh

Wondering if there are any doctor folks on here. Concerned about dh. I pretty certain he is on the neurospectrum. As a functioning adult adhd , he has many of the traits.

Dh is 48. He is about 2 stone overweight (5ft 11) than his normal weight. He holds his weight in middle. He drinks too much, often a bottle of night. Addicted to those nicotine tablets. He takes paracetamol or ibuprofen most days(about 8 tablets a day). He does eat healthy but then would binge. He does weight lifting (Cross fit) but it's sporadic. Otherwise he doesn't walk much and certainly doesn't do 10,000 steps a day.

Is accelerating to trouble. This isn't normal but don't know how to help. Already he's got issues, ailments and he's always unwell about something. And he's generally really moany and angry. I feel it's all related, like he can't regulate himself and his emotions.

In 10 years time, is his health really going to deteriorate. I'm worried.

Would he go for a health check? If your surgery isn’t doing them then some Boots and other pharmacies are. It will give him his risk score if developing cardiovascular disease in the next 10 years. If it’s high, it may shock him into making lifestyle changes to bring his risk down.

A health check is a great idea. I'll look into private options too since work offers private cover. Thank you for the suggestion.
