Thank you! He is working at losing weight and he is also cutting back on work. Neither of those things are easy as they own a few businesses. As I said, they are being well looked after but I like to know what to expect. sunshine

Concern rather than worry I'd say. It's treatable but remember it's the underlying cause that needs treating.

Agree with Galen. It's not the problem it used to be, just sounds dramatic grin my husband has had it for years and has medication for it with no side effects.

Thank you Galen - I knew I could rely on you! Do we need to worry or is it easily treatable?

A lot of people don't have symptoms at all. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and can vary from drugs to pacemaker.
This any help?

Our family seem to be in the throes of lots of health problems (among other things) at the moment and I was wondering if anyone can give me any information about the above.

My 45 year old nephew in law has just been diagnosed and, obviously, he and DN are getting all the relevant information from the doctors and I have consulted Dr Google, I would like to hear about other people's experiences so I know what to expect!! Her parents are next to useless for various reasons.

Sorry to be asking for help again! flowers
