My HA has been easing lately and I'm definitely worrying less about myself. Now I'm worried about my mum instead. :unsure:
She says she woke up the other day and the room was spinning. She tried to get up and do stuff but felt sick and had to go back to bed. My mum's got an iron constitution and it takes a lot to knock her back. She spent all day in bed and felt tired, washed out and dizzy all day. She says she feels a bit better now not fully well. I'm not convinced that she's not saying she feels better than she really does. She says she "doesn't think it's worth" going to the doctor just now.
I'm really worried about her and feel anxious and tearful. I don't want her to know that I'm upset about it and so just chat calmly to her and agree with her diagnosis that she's just been "overdoing it lately". I'm trying not to interrogate her about her symptoms. She's 63. Anyone got any ideas? What could it be? Her sister died of pancreatic cancer at the end of last year and I'm so, so worried.:unsure:
