Need prayers!!!
 

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 :cry: 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.

You have mine and Bruce's prayers. Please keep us updated.
38 is too young to be having these problems! Big hugs to you.

Sending thoughts and prayers your way. So sorry about this. Hopefully they figure out what is going on and soon...:(:confused:

Lots of good thoughts and prayers coming your way. I hope that they are quickly able to figure out what is going on with him and begin treatment to make him well.

Hope the doctors are able to help your husband soon. Sending prayers and good thoughts to you and him and your family.

sending prayers your way, something similar happened to my father and the couldn\'t figure out why, it turned out to be because he drank to much coffee, do you think he could be having some kind of serious allergic reaction to something?

Keeping positing thoughts and saying lots of prayers for your husband.

How frightening. Prayers for your husband and big hugs to you.

You have our prayers, as well. Hope all goes well and this turns out to be a bad dream.

Hmmmm, my husband went into atrial fibrillation and he had been in it a couple of days before we got him to the hospital, and they shocked him out of it. That\'s been a couple of years ago though, so maybe the protocol has changed. They are giving him the shots in to keep his blood from clotting and causing a heart attack or a stroke. Both can happen in atrial fibrillation.

Your husband can\'t continue to have the irregular heart beats that you describe. Did they check his potassium? I\'m sure they did, but high potassium can cause a rash and also very bad heart problems. I hope a cardiologist is seeing him - a good one - because he sounds like he is having lots of very serious problems, especially at 38 years old.

Sending lots of hugs for you and prayers for your husband to be made well again.

Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. I will say extra prayers for the doctors to use the skill and knowledge that they possess to diagnosis your handsome husband\'s medical problems.

Your family is in my prayers! Keep us posted on how he is doing please.

Praying for your, your husband and family. Please keep up updated. And keep on top of the doctors to be sure you get answers soon!!

Praying for your husband and family!!!
