My husband is 78, numerous health problem, lately he is very forgetful and easy to get frustrat when he can't remember things.
He has Heart Pacemaker, because of this, he needs to have a cardiologist nurse be in the room when he has MRI, we are waiting for appointment.
I have anxiety and Panic attack issue, very hard for me to be patient with my husband, though I really try, I feel frustrated at time when he gets so forgetful and angry .
Is there a support group for care giver in this situation?

Hello @thanhphosaigon
Yes, there is a Caregivers Group on Connect. Here is a link to those discussion groups,
==Caregivers Support Group

Can you call in some support? When my mom was physically and cognitively failing, I contacted a senior help group. It was well worth the fees I paid to have them help me with driving to doctor's appointments. They took care of getting her in the car, storing her walker in the trunk, and moving her from the car to the office. it also represented emotional support for me

Have you looked into hiring someone to help you?
