My husband has never smoked and has this disorder. I have to literally shake him to get him to wake up. I can't leave him alone for fear he will have an episode and not wake up. We have lived with this daily for 20 years. Just in the past 4 years he started passing out. He usually turns beet red and the pigments in his skin surface, but this last time he turned grey in color.
Seems no doctor really wants to address this issue, says he has allergies and that its his asthma. Ok so why isn't any of his 500.00 a month med regemine working?
I live everyday in fear that this could be his last. I'm really sick and tired of seeing him live this way.
Please help!
