Well that was an eventful night - Page 2

Thanks everyone, it was rather scary, but he seems ok today.

They think he had an aortic stenosis, which is when one of the heart valves narrows for some unknown reason (hence the chest pain and him stopping breathing briefly/Mum not being able to find a pulse) theres no treatment for it unless it starts happening a lot and then there are surgical options, but its highly unlikely at his age that he will need that.

They did mention as well that it could have been a virus causing it (like you had Jen) and that if it happens again he has to go straight back to hospital.

Hopefully it was just a one off, and he won't go scaring my sister and the rest of us like that again.

Hope it is just a one off and all is well

As others have said, glad he is OK and it is just a one off.

If you don't mind me asking, how old is he?

Knipples · 28-12-2009, 21:24

He'll be 29 in May next year. Him and my sister are getting married in April.

Jonny69 · 28-12-2009, 21:28

Bloody hell, that's a bit scary

Del Lardo · 28-12-2009, 21:29

mmm, I turn 29 in February

I'm not getting married so hopefully my stress levels will remain low enough

I did joke to the pair of them today whether they had insured the wedding in case the worst happened!

(they saw the funny side thankfully, and my sister said he better bloody not go anywhere because she's paid for her dress)

Kari and I payed for wedding insurance. Given the costs associated it was worth it for peace of mind.

Goodness me that's awful, how frightening!

Glad he's ok
