husband might be seriously ill or worse

Im scared out of my mind! Im (22weeks) pregnant with our 3rd baby and I'm on my way to the ER. My husband just informed me that he has been having trouble breathing and he thinks it was from eating raw poke greens or poke weeds 2 WEEKS AGO. I'm so mad he didnt tell me before. People die from that stuff! Anyone know anyone thats been sick from this? He's so secretive about any illness he has

Would he still be having a reaction after 2 weeks?  He could be having an issue for other reasons.  It's good you're going to the hospital.  I'm not sure what you think he's hiding though.  Try to stay calm and try not to worry too much before you know what's going on.  (I know, easier said than done).

Usually it doesn't take two weeks for the symptoms to appear, it is probably something else

I dont think it was the weeds I just looked them up you can eat those, if they are cooked really well. I think he may have some other issue maybe breath fumes or something
