Hello,about 1 hr ago my husband really felt sick,he was shivering uncontrollably,and he was light headed.He did complain about a headache earlier.He couldn t get warm,and he looked washed out,very grey in color,he also said it was hard for him to breath.He does have a history of asthma .Sadly he refuses to go to the emergency room,I am worried. Thank you
Dear Concerned., Thanks for writing to us. You will have to immediately rush him to ER to any of the nearest Primary Centers. The grayish discoloration could be due to Cyanosis. Get his Vital parameters checked--Pulse/Temperature/BP/Oxygen Saturation by using Pulse Oximeter and also Capillary Blood glucose /ECG in 12 leads. And administer him Oxygen as per requirement as decided by the MD. In addition to admission and Oxygen, the MD will start Nebulization with Bronchodilators/Life saving Steroids /Dextrose IV/paracetamol to control fever as decided by CBG levels. After the acute condition subsides, other investigations such as Chest X-Ray/Pulmonary functions /Baseline blood and urine tests/ all will be done. Consult a Pulmonologist and institute an antibiotic course and follow-up action. Wishing you a quick recovery., Best regards, Chat Doctor.
