My husband popped in to see his GP this morning, explained all to receptionist and was seen by a GP within 10 minutes!Doctor checked him over, temperature, blood pressure, blood oxygen levels and all normal...so he's said it's a virus....not THE virus as that test was also negative.Drink plenty of fluids, paracetamol and rest....๐Ÿ˜ŠThe extreme fatigue he's put down to the trauma from his HA and this virus.The aches in his chest are because he has another artery that is blocked but is currently being managed with medication....he said it's unlikely he will have another HA for now...which was a relief/not a relief to hear in equal measures.

Thanks so much for all your advice yesterday xx

That is brilliant news for him and sounds an amazing GP practice too. Hope he gets over the virus soon.

Glad to hear all is good with your hubby & that he was seen so quickly It's so difficult for you both at the moment as you're probably still reeling with what has happened & on edge in case it happens again! I remember really spooking my husband out by constantly checking he was ok, over the years I've learnt to keep my eye on him without it being too obvious, it's now an artform!In that first year after my husband's HA we were pretty much regulars at the surgery or A&E, never worry about seeking medical advice if you're concerned.
