I posted last week that I was really worried about health issues and I didn't go into details because I was scared out of my mind and very emotional. Well things appear to be better. It has to do with my DH. He has been under a ton of stress these past few months trying to buy a business. Well he has been having some health issues and he had an echocardiogram done in Aug. Well the doctor told him last week that it came back not so good. He told him that the pressure on the right side of his heart is to high. He said he has pulmonary hypertension. He also wanted him to have a test done to make sure that he didn't have a pulmonary embolism!  Well to even think that scared the sh**t out of both of us. Well doc called yesterday and there is not embolism (thank god) but we still need to keep an eye out as to why the pressure in his heart is so high. So I think he is going to have another echo done in 6months and if it is still high he will have to see a specialist at University of Michigan.
I know why his pressure is so high its because he is a big old stress ball and with all the business crap, the miscarriage, and losing two grandpas this summer no wonder his heart is stressed! There is a chance that it could be normal in 6months. So I am praying!!!! He is only going to 30 year old! He shouldn't be dealing with this kind of thing yet.
Oh yeah we got this news two days before he closed on the business. So our celebration was a tad bit marred.  Anyways thank you all for the prayers and thoughts. Please continue them for me. I have been a mess these past few weeks. I can't imagine my life without my DH. He's my soulmate.

My what a time you have had for the past 4-6 months! Keep the faith my friend...I bet God will heal hubby's heart in no time. Isn't it odd how stress will affect his heart but not his GI tract and vice versa for you?
You know that I will be praying...keep us posted!

*HUG* I can't imagine going through the stress of that one! at least the docs are positive about it and it was caught early enough that he knows he needs to make some changes. MY FIL had a heart attack a few weeks ago and then had to have quarduple bypass surgery because he had arteries that were 90% blocked. It sounds like they've ruled out blockages at least, so just take good care of him!

Oh Sweetie, how scarey! Hopefully as things calm down in the next couple of months, this will resolve itself. You're right, your family has been through a lot lately. Super Duper Big Hugs!

Your family has been through the ringer! Hopefully when things calm down, your husband will be okay...and all this can be blamed on stupid stress! Stress can do a big number on our bodies for sure. It is scary, but at least he doesn't have the emobolism, Thank Goodness. I'm sorry you guys have had this scare in your life.
Try to just take it one day at a time. I know it's hard to be so on edge....but try to have faith that all will be fine.
Great big Hugs to you, Angela! And continual prayers.

What fear! My DH and I went through that this summer when his chest x-ray came back with spots on one of his lungs! It IS terrifying to face, and the waiting and wondering is just pure torture!! I'm glad it wasn't an embolism, and I'm praying that the pressure will soon be back to normal!

Oh Angela ....thank goodness it was not pulmonary embolism...how very scary!! Hope now that the closing is done... some of pressure is gone and he can start to relax. That sure is alot for one little heart to handle in such a short period of time.

Thanks everyone. I have to keep telling myself that things are going to be ok. I can't believe that God would have something be serioulsy wrong with him when we just bought a business and are in debt up to our butts!!  But I am trying to keep light on things. It's so funny how perspective on life changes when you think that you might lose time with a loved one. To top things off my MIL was admitted to the hospital last night with an infection in her hip from her surgery two weeks ago and my grandma is having her knee replaced as we speak. My prayer list at night is so long I need to start an hour before I go to sleep at night!

Angela, bless your heart! No wonder you have been so worried lately. You really had a big scare. I'm glad to know it wasn't an embolismm, but I know you are still worried. He is too young to be going through something like this!
Yes, stress can do bad things to your body. Hopefully, now that he's gotten the new business underway, things will calm down----and his next medical report will be better.
I will continue to pray for you and your family!
