ANGRY WITH DH - HOW TO RESOLVE?

I ran a ‘don’t buy sky’ campaign years ago to defeat Rupert Murdoch. No one listened to me! You could always cancel the subscription!
Hope your husband is kinder to you soon.

Everyone who hasn't had a heart attack think it's nothing until you have one. It can be very upsetting to your mind and can take time to adjust, no matter how minor you think it is. Perhaps he will come to terms with it before you come to terms with his resulting unpleasant state of mind.

It could be a side effect of the blood pressure tablets. My husband had to try 3 different ones before he felt ok. He was constantly tired and not himself at all. Totally out of character.

Huge panic when you have an MI. Or heart attack as we put it. In some ways it can be worse than being told you have cancer. The heart is the be all and end all in a way. It stops pumping and adios. The mind of the patient can be in a constant state of panic about all manner of things. Death, how will you cope, how will the family cope, will death be painful etc etc. It it's a minor thing he'll get better. It's just a bit of time that's needed.

Glad to hear he has apologised. I hope he sticks to your three new rules.
My DH is often quite grumpy and I put it down to not feeling well. I too get accused of hastening his death!
It is not very nice at the time, but I try to shrug it off and put it down to the pain he is in or a worry about his health, or the effect of his medication.
We have just had a short break in a B & B and I kept wondering if it was worth it, as he struggled with a different routine, a less comfortable bed, no easy chair, change of diet, no chance to doze in the afternoon........and more exercise than usual. It is hard to know whether he is making a fuss over nothing, for a couple of days, or whether he was truly miserable all the time. It certainly made me realise just how much we take for granted, at home in our own routines, which help to keep us sane.
I hope things improve as your DH gets used to what has happened.

Sorry I’m late to the post, but have had a few early starts and am just catching up.
Just wondering if your husband may be suffering side affects from his medication.
My husband found Atenolol very difficult to tolerate at first
A visit to your GP might be a thought
Hope things are improving

A friend's husband, newly diagnosed with mild diabetes at 67, took to his bed for 3 days.
His wife told me he was too shocked to speak to her.

On the 4th day, the clinic rang to say it was a wrong diagnosis, his results had become mixed up with another man of the same, fairly common, name.

Some men are really knocked back by what their tougher wives would just accept and work through.

BradfordLass72 - the reaction of the friend's husband doesn't surprise me at all. Nor does the mix up.

Years ago DH got a wrong blood test result when he was in hospital to have his wisdom teeth out. The hospital said he was severely anaemic. When MIL heard about this she rang me straight away and demanded to know what I'd been feeding him on!

I am pleased to report that DH is much brighter and more relaxed now. We are just waiting for an MRI scan to check that some visual problems and giddiness weren't caused by a mini-stroke and another heart scan because he had more chest pains last week.

Banma123 - you are on the right lines. Problems with vision and giddiness can be side effects of some medication DH had switched to but the hospital has agreed to do a brain scan anyway. He has ditched that medication but only 2 weeks ago so it may still be in his system. Thanks for your post.
