Husband had to see the doctor today and found out that

I am so sorry to hear that, I am still trying to catch up on all my emails, I am so far behind. I know you are concerned, and worried and possibly scared but don't think the worst until it is told to you by the doctor, that is like wishing it on him, so just try to think positive, he is not his family he is a unique human being, keep your chin up okay?

I am so sorry to hear of your husbands health problems sweetheart! Maybe with encouragement and medication your husband will be able to maintain his health better than the rest of his family! I certainly hope so. xxx

I am so sorry to hear that. If your husband is getting regular check ups that's a good start. He does have to take some responsibility for his health though, like eating right and walking or exercise. I am such a hypocrite. I don't do either.

just be optimistic and have faith in God always..worrying much is not good...i will pray for your husband early recovery...

I did read somewhere quite a while back now, that we all have small strokes all the time. These don't usually affect us or cause long term problems. It was temperature related as well as blood pressure. Study was done on rats, but they do think same in humans. The risk is when the clots are to big to pass safely through the blood vessels or they get stuck. Oxygen deprivation is the main cause of stroke related complications.

He will have to avoid situations that may cause either a sudden rush of blood to the head or lack of any blood flow there. This is a big indication of a more severe stroke in the future, so I hope that your husband can avoid that misfortune. We here will have both of you in our prayers.

just hope and pray that they can fix him up so he will be around along time for you!@ hugs

I hope hubby will be okay. Take Care.

That is awful. I am so sorry to hear that. I hope his results come out better for the both of your sake. I will pray for you. My husband will be 52 this year and has very good health, thank god. I hope he still does when he is able to retire, if there is such a thing by then. I wish you the best tomorrow and on Friday.

Oh no suspenseful, how awful..I know what you mean by trying to get our husbands to eat better..Just do what you can and keep trying, maybe this will make him try to eat the healthier foods and can learn to like it..

I'm sorry to hear of your husband's stroke. When he goes back to the doctor I am sure they will advise him of what his diet needs to be, and he will learn to like some of this stuff if it means avoiding immediate health risks. My husband has high cholestrol so the doctor gave him a list of "don't eat" foods. Most of which he used to love. Don't agpmoze over what conditions could follow because everyone is different. Just be aware of family history and use caution. Good luck on his next visit to the doctor. Hope everything turns out well.

Man, I'm sorry about that! The only comfort that I can bring you is that just because it was passed on to one family member, does not mean it will be passed on to the other. For example, pretty much every one in my mom's family developed Diabeties in their old age, my mom was one of them. However, her sister never did. They also developed heart problems, my mom being one of them. Her sister and my grandmother never did. So, where it might happen to one sibling, it may not happen to the other. Sometimes it skips children. You said it may have been a small stroke but that means you're not sure yet. Try to remain positive and even if you find out that it was a small stroke, it doesn't mean he will end up like his sister. Everyone goes through things diffrently and at diffrent levels. I know it's hard in situations like this but try to remain positive!

hello, sorry to hear about your husband's condition, i hope he feel better soon. the good thing is you found out soon and can do something about it and make things right. i am not sure if age really does matter in such case coz i have heard some people who have same stories specially knowing that it is in his genes. i know this is a hard time for you and my prayers goes with your family. takecare

he needss to get his blood pressure down if it is hiigh as that is what usually leads to a stroke. also he needs to learn a healthy lifestyle with some exercise and a diet of veggies, fruits, lo fat protein and dairy and lots of whole grains as that helps us to not have all the health problems.

Good luck at the doc's. I just said a prayer for him, I do hope that things turn out ok. Keep thinking positively.

I am sorry to hear that. I do hope your husband gets better soon. I guess you should tell him to take it slow and don't carry heavy stuff. Serve him healthy foods and fruit juices. Constant visit to the doctor and taking th right medicines would help. Exercise light ones though and plenty of water would do him good. Take care

I am so sorry to hear of your husband's condition. If I were you I would gather as much information on his family history as possible and ask the doctor how they are going to prevent this in him. Some times they can not but there may be some options out there that can help so let the doctor know your concerns so he knows what he is dealing with and he can research it to find a way to prevent it. As far as cutting out the bad stuff keep in mind as we get order it is hard to change our habits. I know my mom used to keep the caffine coffee can out so my dad did not know she was making him caffine free coffee. Maybe you will have to do a few tricks like that so he thinks he is getting something he really isn't. The mind is a funny thing. They do have oatmeal bread that I was told was better for you and it looks white and tastes good. I wish you the best of luck and will keep you both in my prayers.

My hubby has had a major stroke and a series of small strokes over the past 6yrs. He also has asthma. Strokes don't run in his family so have no idea why he had one in the first place. He's 45 and still doing ok but makes me wonder which one of the 2 will do him in permanently. Hope everything goes ok for your hubby. The dr. will prolly put him on a blood thinner to stop the clots from forming.

I am sorry to hear of your husbands bad health and hope that things turn out ok for you both. Sometimes things can run in families, but it might just all be coincidence. I hope that it is all good for him at his appointments.

No panic! First of all it is important that his family has the same problems and the only way to avoid them is your husband has a good health. Eat healthy, go to the gym, do tests 2 times at a year. And again it is not sure that he can avoid them.. But there is big posibility! Good luck with the doctor!
