I can't sleep tonight because I'm worried that my dad will have a heart attack and pass away. He has heart problems and is on the older side. Recently, he's been getting sick more often. Before I went to my room to go to bed tonight i overheard him say to my mother that his chest hurt, and he off handedly mentioned he might've had a heart attack because he felt like his heart stopped multiple times earlier in the day. My father is a very stubborn man and refuses to go to the hospital, and I'm scared that this time will be too late. All of us are telling him to go but he refuses every time. I don't know what to do anymore. While my father not being the healthiest is normal for me, I can't help but feel like this time it's different. It might just be my hypochondria or my anxiety causing me to overthink, but you just never know. I have severe social anxiety, and living in the US, calling 911 is a very frightening option (costs a ton of money to call an ambulance here). I feel like if I call, it'll just be an overreaction and tons of money down the drain. I just wish i knew what the right thing to do is for ONCE in my life. Thanks for reading, if you did.

I think I know how it feels. Our situations are quite similar. My father has been sick for years now. He got this disease and doctors says there’s nothing they can do about it. He’s dying. A slow, painful death. He’s been suffering for years now. And it kills me to see him like that. But girl… your dad still got a chance. You should talk to your mom and tell her you’re worried. Tell her you’re scared. Don’t call an ambulance right away if it costs so much. Discuss this with your mom or an older sibling. Tell them that you got a feeling like something terrible might happen. Talk to them. Hope your dad gets better.
