MilliBr1 Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 This time for both my mom and dad My sister called tonight and told me dad had a check up today and the doctor heard something with his heart beat. He is going in for more tests tomorrow. Dad is over weight, high blood pressure, and has had angina. We have all been worried that the stress of mom might be to much for him, my grandpa died of a heart attack. I'm just so worried about him. I just don't know what this added stress might do. Sis also told me mom is not doing so great. She seems to be getting weaker and is acting stranger than ever. Dad took her to the emergency room on Sunday fearing she may be having another stroke, because she was acting so oddly, they found nothing wronge. He called her regular doctor Monday morning but they never called back. I told my sister to call her oncologist tomorrow and tell him what is going on. He just saw her a week ago and said she just needed time to get back to normal. He took her off her steroids and prescribed some physical therapy, which she started Tuesday. Could stopping the steroids becausing her to act oddly? Well I'm sorry I didn't meant to ramble, just feeling a bit scared tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorja Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Please try not to worry too much....My family is very stressed out ever since my dad was diagnosed. All of us here know what that is like. Just try to hang in there. I am glad that your dad is getting checked out. About your mom, maybe it is getting off the steroids but you need to call your oncologist just to be safe. It could also be her body getting off the steroids... jorja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindi o'h Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Having your Dad checked out is a good idea. Stress will often mimic heart symptoms, but best to rule out anything physical. Your mom. Boy. Anytime any of us start acting "strange", the first thing we think about is steroids. Prayers for all. Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
