My husband is 38 years old...Slim, active and 100% healthy until recently. He started breaking out in what they thought were bouts of hives every 4-6 weeks. Each time he got them, he'd get sick with different infections (bronchitis, pharyngitis, etc). It happened again and we did the usual, went to urgent care cuz his face started to swell. They loaded him up with antihistamines and steroids and sent us home. He stayed home from work the next day and cleared up and felt fine.
Then yesterday, he stayed home from work saying he didnt feel well. His stomach hurt all the way up to this throat and the rash started to come back. I took him to urgent care and on the way there, he threw up and went into atrial fibrillation with a heart rate of 160-170. They admitted him and have been running tests, but so far we have no answers--NONE. They missed the 24 hour window to shock him back into a normal rhythm
so now we may have to wait 6-8 weeks before they can attempt a cardioversion. They are giving him injections in his stomach. Every time he talks his rhythm changes to ventricular tachycardia, skipped beats, pauses, PVCs, etc. His EKG is wayyyyyy off.
I'm very worried. My handsome young husband shouldnt be having these problems at 38. We have three kids, the youngest is 10.
Please please say some prayers for my husband.
