Ill Since Moving House

[vonda]

We moved house last February, and my 62 year old husband had to retire medically in April, and has been ill ever since; niggley stuff, chest infections, leg /vein issues, and currently, conjunctivitis, which he's never had in the 18 years I've known him! Also, he can fall asleep at the drop of a hat whist watching telly. Could there be some 'unexplained' issues in the house?

Why did he have to retire?

Presumably because of the ailments mentioned since moving ?

Check if the house is built on ley lines, vonda, also have a word with local historians about ancient curses and stuff.
Disregard all of it then take the man for a medical.

Best I can do.

i doubt if it's the house, my o/h had similar ailments
my brother who is 69 has loads of issues, but plods on as though nothing is wrong.
if he drops asleep that's probably because he is tired or the telly is boring...

It’s probably the fact that he has recently retired,
Then moving house,62 is not old but the stress of moving house ,plus retirement,don’t start looking for unexplained issues.

could he just be bored since retiring ,try a hobby etc x

Quite likely to be low immunity through the stress of moving house, which is considered to be one of life's most stressful events.

Thank you for all the excellent answers!

Probably all reasons as mentioned before but do you have carbon monoxide monitor? Gas fires have they been checked also gas cooker and boiler. Any chimney that needs cleaning? Also GP visit advisable.
Is he missing friends

Probably all reasons that were mentioned are possible. But still I believe that the house can also be the cause of these 'unexplained' issues. The place where you live is extremely important, and if the house is not suitable for you, you should think about moving. After my husband retired we thought about living in a quiet village. We have moved but six months later, we realized that such a quiet life is not for us. That's why we decided to move to London. Of course, we couldnt have arranged so many movements by ourselves.
