Called the ambulance last night as he felt faint and was slurring his words/couldn’t really speak. He’s been diabetic for many years now but this has never happened. The paramedics came and said it was mostly likely low blood sugar since he hasn’t been eating much recently and he went back to normal after we gave him some fruit juice and a biscuit. But they said they can’t rule out a mini stroke because he had high blood pressure so they advised us to take him to the emergency apartment where they can do checks. I’m terrified, I feel sick and I’m shaking, have no appetite.

I’m not asking for a diagnosis for my dad but just looking for some advice on how to cope with these feelings because I don’t think I’ll feel relaxed until my dad has a CT scan which tells us it wasn’t a stroke, but I also know there’s a possibility it might come back and tell us it was a stroke and that will trigger my anxiety again and I won’t know how to deal with it. I just have a lot of worst case scenarios playing in my head right now.
