I'm scared to death because my dad's health is getting worse!?!
Question: I'm scared to death because my dad's health is getting worse!!?
I just turned 17 a few weeks ago!. My dad had a heart attack about 8 years ago and then got CHF!. All through those 8 years, he's constantly been in the hospital for either his CHF because of his lungs fill up, or some other health problem!.
Well for over a year this past year his lungs would fill up every other month and he would have to go into the ER to get the fluid pumped out!. His EF always used to be 30% and then it went down to 25% about two years ago!. Last time they checked it, it was at 15%!!!
My dad had surgery about 3 months ago to replace his pacmaker/defibrulator!. It was a suprise because he wasnt in the hospital ever since then and he seemed to be doing pretty good!. Then he got gout in his arm and couldnt move his arm so he sat in his chair all day long for about a week!. After sitting so long, he seemed to be weaker!. He was getting short of breath very easily!. After his gout went away, about 3-4 weeks later his breathing kept getting worse!. Last friday he went back into the ER because of his shortness of breath he was having!. They ran some tests on him and they believe that its not his asthma or anything else!. They said they think its because of his weak heart!.
My dad called my mom and told her that today about what the doctor said that its his heart most likely!. Well today, I called my dad in the hospital a few minutes ago to see how he was acting, and he said that he had just got off the chair and into the bed!. HE COULD BARELY TALK BECAUSE HE WAS SO WINDED! It was worse than it was on Friday when he went in!.
Today my mom was crying about it and my brother was worried!. She and him went up to the hospital and I stayed at home crying!.
It seems like when it rains it pours! I dropped out of school last year in 9th grade because of social anxiety because of being bullied and teased about my weight!. I had a bad time all through middle school too!
I dont know what to do! Im so nerved up, I can barely think straight to even type this all out!. I know that I shouldnt be on the computer! I should be up there! But I hate seeing my dad like this it makes me scared to death!Www@Answer-Health@Com
