Thanks so much for your response, it really helped relieve some of my anxiety. I will have to check on AED units. We live out in the country, so even they are expensive, it would be worth it. I am sure his doctor would write him a prescription for one, they are already talking about putting him on disability for his heart/blood pressure issues and he is only 55 y/o. Heart problems run in his family, his Dad died at 45 y/o from a heart attack.

Well you won’t need a prescription, they are just products you can buy, they are pricey, but if its worth it to you, its worth it to you. Go google AED and you will find vendors etc.

I would also take a CPR course as well if you aren’t already certified, and I would recommend taking it from a practicing EMT if possible, rather than just a red cross type deal.

If your husband were in danger of sudden cardiac arrest I’m pretty sure that his doctor would want to implant a defibrillator. Discuss your concerns with his cardiologist. He is probably in less danger than you think. The important thing is that he’s getting treatment and being monitored.
