My wife just rushed to hospital, resting heart rate at 130, red skin, out of breath, misremembering things and stumbling. We’re both unvaxxed and under 35. I’m home watching our son, trying not to freak the fuck out! Any prayers or words of comfort are appreciated; this woman is my entire world, I’m scared shitless and don’t know what to do and have no where else to turn….I just want help. We’ve tried so hard to push through all the bullshit but now this happens—I’m so close to breaking frens, help me please.
Update: still in hospital. CTs, MRI, EKG, US all negative for any clots or embolisms. Doctors still aren’t sure what’s causing it- best working guess so far is POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) which is an excessively reduced amount of blood returning to the heart when moving from laying to sitting to standing. BP and heart rate still spiking anytime she has to get up. Pumping fluids and electrolytes and looking into starting a beta blocker until her OBGYN can assess hormone levels. Heart monitor hooked up for next cpl weeks. Home/bed rest until then. Not a whole lot of info or treatment for it so we just have to wait and see for now.
I truly hope you are right. THANK you for the time and support you’ve given me, I don’t even feel worthy of that but I sincerely thank you fren.
God loves you, never doubt that.
Thank you Ash, trying not to. Im going to work on rebuilding that relationship with Him and hopefully remind myself.

God bless you for your update on your wife's condition....
...I was actually debating whether to message you as to her condition, but I decided not to intrude on your situation...
...your message proves once again that God hears the inner most thoughts and desires of our hearts and souls...
...here is a link to a message from a wise old Texas preacher who has long since passed from this world...
...it has comforted me many times and I hope it will do the same for you...
