Some Advice From Sqad Please

if he happens to be about, in early hours of Friday morning Mr fruit got up to use the toilet, I heard an almighty crash and found him collapsed on the landing sweating a lot he came round quite quickly saying "where am I" anyway managed to get him to crawl to the bed gave him a drop of water and he drifted off to sleep again, the next morning his eyes were puffy underneath but he seemed ok apart from that and was eating ok that evening he came out in a red itchy rash over his arms, legs, feet and back and both hands were swollen I assumed he had been bitten and gave him antihistamines and it all seemed to calm down, what I am wondering do you think the collapse in the early hours of the Friday were a bad reaction to a insect bite of some kind or maybe not related, I want to make him an appointment with the doctor but being as stubborn as he is, he wont let me.

Hi,
I am not a medical person, but, could it have been sun stroke? that can cause problems similar to that, i had sunstroke and was very drowsy, passed out and came out in a all over rash, but it was itchy.

[fruitsalad]

interesting you should say that annie he had been sitting in the garden during the day and the rash he had was also very itchy

[Sqad]

Not enough information.
It could be as annie said,a heat stroke problem.
However you didn't say whether he was constipated or was just passing water.
It does sound a vasovagal (fainting phemomenon) rather than an allergic problem.

No big deal.

thank you Sqad, he was just passing water said he remembers getting up to do that, went dizzy then just passed out

If you need a boring alternative to AB then Google "Micturating Syncope"..;-)

Yes that seems more like it, he did have prostate trouble some 3 years ago thanks again

annie.....LOL.......you need to learn how to bullsh1t....I can teach you..;-)

[fruitsalad]

not at all annie very grateful for your input, it could just of been an coincidence and he also had heat stroke and/or insect bite at the same time

Squad,
noooo Bull,
you are the man for the medicines. I just sneaked in with a quick diagnosis, I was acting like my doctor, 5 minute slot, just like speed dating, and agree to meet again in a months time if feel the same.
I must tell you, my allergy is still with me, my doctor now wants me to stop eating spicy food, such as curries, and given me the strongest anti- histamine. thats 6 months of swoolen feet and raised red bumps everywhere, now, new tablets. This only proves what you say, sometimes things are never diagnosed, its not a perfect science, more like trial and error.
