[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly did they say at the ER?

Anxiety can be areally easy diagnosis when there's no real health problems and someone freaked complaining of chest pain. (This could have heartburn)

If this had happened to me I would have been mortified!

Your husband is milking it for all its worth... If I were I would develop some anxiety too! Whenever you get home and he's on the couch absorbed in video games, say your chest hurts - do what he did - go to the ER too if you have to. (Do this on a weekend when your son has a sleepover)

After everything calms down in the ER and they ask if you're stressed - say YES! Say you have to do all the housework and you're the only one with a job and you get no help. Maybe hearing a doctor tell your husband that he needs to step up or risk destroying your health will have an impact.

They said his blood pressure was high (170/120), his blood sugar was high, there was no sign of a heart attack or blockage, and that the neck and chest pains he was complaining of were indicative of a panic attack.

Great suggestion about getting my doctor to explain to DH how unfair he is being, and thanks to all for the other helpful comments.  I won't post again about my issues, but I really appreciate the input.[/quote]
