My sincerest condolences on the tragic loss of so many members of your family. I understand your fear with regard to your spouse. My husband has had cardiac issues for the past 17 years and I am always on the "edge of my seat, waiting for the other shoe to drop". That type of stress does take its toll on an individual. The result in my case was the onset of panic attacks.
I am hoping that despite social restrictions you are able to connect with your physician and see if medication should be adjusted or perhaps another option introduced to help you to get through this extremely difficult time in your life. I know Mayo Clinic is offering various appointment options now to work around social distancing. Do you think perhaps your physician might be open to a conference call, Skype or Zoom meeting?
