My DH just been taken into hospital with an irregular heartbeat, low oxygen and breathlessness worse than normal due to COPD. He has been unwell since xmas eve and we have tried to cope at home with calls to 111 and gp ringing us back with prescription for antibiotics and steriods as he is prone to chest infections. But this morning we had to admitt defeat. Hoping they will discharge later today as dont really want him staying in there, also that they will sort out what ever the issue is. sad

travelsafar sending positive thoughts your way and reiterating what Kalu has said.

Please take care of yourself too and phone the emergency services if you feel worse

travelsfar, ICU is where your DH will receive the absolute best possible care from highly experienced medics.

I sincerely hope you both begin to pick up and turn a corner towards good health.

If possible, please reach out to family, friends or neighbours for support and help through such a horrible time for you both. x
