Darling husband

Just caught up with this Nonu. How horrid for you - hope you are feeling calmer now and that your Dh is doing well. You must be exhausted with the worry.

Dearest Nonu Positive vibes winging their way to you and the man you love.

I hope he's soon feeling much better.

Chin up Nonu What Ana said ^ xxxxx

Make sure you do, Nonu - glad DH is feeling a bit better, look after yourself as well!

Thank you all for your lovely kind messages , they mean such a lot to me !
He ate his dinner tonight , did him plaice , Mash[which is what he fancied]
he head not so bad and the chest pains are not so bad , see that is not taking the meds they prescribed . he wiil approach the hospital as has been suggested and see what they have too say so hopefully this WILL be sorted.
So lots & lots of thanks to all .
weak , I feel quite drained myself.
Will keep in touch !

I would certainly contact the hospital to ask if there is an alternative medication that is less aggravating to the other condition your husband has nonu Sometimes different people respond differently to drugs and it takes a bit of trial & error to sort it out.

So sorry Nonu what a worry. Hope it all gets sorted soon xxx

Nonu for you and your DH.

Do hope he's better soon Nonu.

Nonu I'm so sorry your lovely husband feels so bad, no wonder you're upset and worried.
I do hope you can sort something out to help him xxx

So sorry to read that you have been so worried over your DH health. Do hope things improve for you both very soon .Lots of

I hope this gets sorted out and that he feels better soon Nonu.

Hope he is OK Nonu

Nonu Bless you both. I hope that matters can be sorted as soon as possible. A warm (hug) from me to you.

Oh Nonu, I know how much you love that man! I do hope you manage to sort out the problem and that he's feeling much better very soon.

So sorry, Nonu, it's horrible seeing someone you love suffering.I would certainly want another opinion but older people aren't always listened to. I hope he feels better soon.
I was interested in what you said, janerowena, I'm on blood pressure tablets and Alendronic acid for suspected osteoporosis. It's a minefield to get it right sometimes. We want to have faith in our GPs, but it's not always easy. I had an ulcer, years ago, and one GP wanted to put me on Asprin for arthritis!

Really hope he'll be feeling better soon, Nonu.

OH! Nonu what a state to be in, how on earth did you manage to stay calm? Stomach ulcers are such fussy things, and sometimes the smallest thing seems to set them off. I would do as people here have suggested get back to the hospital, tell them your worries, and blow the GP. I know he cannot over-rule the hospital, but you can.

I really feel for him, I felt just like that when NSIs caused me ulcers, a hole punched through my stomach and liver problems. Maybe they will poke about inside to see what is going on, but at the very least he needs omeprazole or something.

I know there are tablets that won't work together, my mother has incredibly high blood pressure so she has trouble taking things that will work for her osteoporosis, but I think now is the time to stamp your feet on his behalf.

No chocolate, no red wine, no black pepper or strong spices, nothing very fatty - poor man. And make him sleep propped up on 4 pillows. I think my mother had to try about 4 types of statins before they found one that agreed with her and didn't conflict with anything else, but you have to let them know.

I thought I was having a heart attack the first time it happened to me.

yes do hope he starts to feel better very soon..he must be in agony poor chap, DH has had ulcers for mnay yrs and takes Lipitor so I presume that is ok for if you happen to have ulcers.

Statins work via the liver which can lead to stomach problems. Is he still taking them?
I hope your husband feels better soon, what a worry.

Oh Nonu how awful. Do ring the hospital, I'm sure there are alternatives to the statin he's on. If he's really bad, don't be afraid to bypass your GP and go to A&E.

Nonu I can imagine how worried you are,can a statin that is compatable with your hubby's ulcer problem not be prescribed ? I would tend to phone the Hospital and speak to whoever prescribed the statin and explain the problem and ask them to check if there is an alternative and to ask if they would continue using them with your hubby's history.I'm not clued up on statins to be honest but if it where my hubby I too would be worried,so call the hospital and see what they say.
