Tom & Fear,
My prayers too.
I can relate, as I finally got tired of being so sick, dry heaves, shortness of breath & felt like my heart had took off running out the door with me left behind, that I went to the emergency room. After getting a little info (1 or 2 minutes or less as I am sure it took me a bit to gather breath to talk). They took my BP & weighed me. Gave me some form to fill out. Sat down & barely got started when they came out, took my BP again. They had me in a bed in less than 20 minutes from when I walked in. BP was well over 220/120 (It was higher but I don't have my notes handy). Had CHF or Congestive Heart Failure Enlarged Heart, Runaway Heartbeat, extremely high BP, Heart Pumping at only 20 to 25% capacity, and many other things. After 5 weeks, we still can't get BP down to their acceptable level. Finally feeling better, because also there was stomach & throat problems which is also more variables into the whole scenario. They kept thinking it was heart related. I told them it was something else, even though I will admit that a bit might be heart related. Anyway, I am slowly recovering & feeling better. Finally looking at Acid Reflux (which is not what you normally think of) & another angle. Seems a natural treatment of apple cider vinegar diluted with water seems to be helping the stomach & throat problems. If I can get that problem resolved, then I can get the heart bit under better control & speed up the recovery.
If he is allergic to a certain antibiotic, hopefully they can isolate which one & keep it out of his system. Anyway wishing a speedy recovery & better fishing days ahead!
