Partner whose had ms for over 10 years now with minor symptoms and jas continued to be a lorry driver has recently collapsed twice in same night and cut head open on the fall.
Is this meaning his ms is progressing?
He is refusing hospital or doctors since the falls.
Anyone experienced this??
Hello
I had this problem at the beginning of my journey to diagnosis.
I ended up with concussion due to collapsing and hitting my head.
I lost consciousness a number of times , it was very scary for both me and my husband.
I had blood tests, ECG and an Echocardiogram and all was fine.
I was finally diagnosed with Vasovagal Syncope .
3 years later I was diagnosed with MS.
I’m sure it was due to my MS.
Sorry I meant to add please try again to encourage your husband to see a doctor and mention it to his MS nurse and Neurologist. It’s definitely something he should get checked out particularly as his job involves driving.
Hi there,
Can I ask what your partners was doing when he collapsed? The reason I ask i because I have fainted a couple of times when going for a pee at night. I went to the Dr and apparently having a pee does involve quite a few muscles and nerves and sometimes men suffer from what I think is called ‘micturition syncope’ - the act of peeing seems to result in a sudden drop in blood pressure
Definitely best for him to see a GP. It could be micturition syncope but it could be something far more serious I.e heart and circulatory problems!
