Have to talk to someone who is not in the room with me cos I feel like screaming!!!Hubby had chest pains last friday night sufferred all weekend no matter how much me and 3 sons threatened him.Finally dragged him to a+e and hes had a heart attack since friday!Done permanent damage cos he was too stubborn to go to hospital,also he is diabetic too.When we look back all the symtoms were there peeing drinking breathless tired etc.He may be home this afternoon but I wish they would keep him a bit longer.He thinks he can get right back to work and asked my son for a fag!!He has tried to quit before and he is a total nightmare to live with.I am going to really lay down the law but he will react as always by getting stroppy!The phone never stops ringing I know people are concerned but its driving me up the wall.Rant over,taking the dogs for a walk rain or not!Maz x
 
Oh dear, no wonder your stressed. Lets hope he listens to you, if not is there someone else who could talk to him and get through to him how serious this is? I hope so.

In the meantime enjoy your walk x
 
You need him to understand that this is a warning and he HAS to slow down. You need to tell him that you are very worried about him and not to smoke. Tell people to stop calling as he needs rest as you all do. No work but he will when the Dr advises have to take part in gentle excersise. Be firm but fair with him and stand your ground. It maybe a long road but you will get there!
Look after yourself too!

Aw poor you and hubby, its so scary when something like this happens. He really has to seriously consider giving the ciggies up. I had 2 strokes a few years ago and I smoked 80 a day! I gave up, almost 3 yrs now. I always said if I can do it anyone can! I hope you feel a little calmer now, you need to look after you too x
 
massive hugs hun x
 
I am so sorry! This is awful. Hopefully he will come to his senses. My dad has had 7 heart attacks and refuses to give up the booze which is horrible for him. He only stopped the fags because he couldn't be around my brittle asthmatic twins otherwise.
 
Sorry to hear that. I always say to my husband when he is being stubborn about drs that how would he react if it was happening to me and I refused to go see the dr. It usually works, a little bit of reverse physchology. Hope things improve for you both.
 
sorry to hear you news hope you are feeling a bit better now and that your hubby slows down and takes notice of you and the family (i hope your son didnt give him a fag) x
 
Hope your hubby is doing better now. Men are stubborn so and so's but probably a bit of it is out of fear and denial. Maybe he's burying his head in the sand a little. Good luck xx
 
Thanks guys!The stupid so and so walked out of the hospital yesterday.Said he was not waiting for results of treadmill or medication!He said he had nothing to eat for two days cos the food was so bad,plus his fag pangs so he was off!Got him back on the ward and the results came thru he has an arterial blockage and has to have an angiogram on wednesday.So hes got to behave,took loads of food in and the doc is getting him patches to calm him down fag wise.My three sons gave him it hot and heavy about doing as he was told so I feel better after a couple of wines last night and a great sleep.Thanks to all of you as usual for your kind words of support.Maz x
