Another request for prayers please....

DH has been having some problems. It started with a racing heart and light headedness that lasted about 5 minutes. (a week ago today)He had to sort of walk it off and ever since then has had light headedness. He got into the doc and had bloodwork and a stress test today. He did ok with the stress test, Doc said nothing abnormal with the exertion and his heart, cholesterol is wayyyyy out of whack. He's also Borderline diabetic. He is to follow a diet that I can't even spell the name of let alone understand it all. I mean I can understand the food to avoid and good foods but no clue on saturated fats and unsaturated etc etc.

Doc is baffled as to what is causing the heart racing and light headedness. He needs to see a heart specialist and of course they don't come til April 10, DH is scared to death and doesn't think he can wait that long. The light headedness is getting worse, I am not sure if that is causing anxiety or what but he is having more of heart racing episodes also when he gets these "spells". He has not blacked out, but I am afraid he may. We are both afraid of stroke or heart attack (every male in his family has died of heart problems from his grandpa to cousins to uncles)He said they get worse in the afternoons and its not from exerting himself, they just come on. He only feels good sitting or laying down.

I don't know whats going on, but think we are going to call the clinic again tomorrow and see if we can get him into an appointment sooner than the 10th in the city the heart specialist comes from.

If you could spare some prayers or good thoughts I'd deeply appreciate it.
