Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I understand your concern is your husband experiences episodes where his face become red from time to time. The first question I would have is
Does he have any history of high blood pressure?
Is the redness associated with anything such as drinking alcohol or eating anything in particular?

I look forward to your response.

Hi again and thank you. No, his blood pressure is low most of the time. To low sometimes.
Is not comming after alcohol or eating. Use to get it when he is at work. People there has told him that he is really red in the face. He dosen't feel anything at all. He gets like a tomato!
He has put on some weight the last 4 years. He is a little overweight now. Maybe 15-20kg too much.. otherwise there are no problem we know about, besides he have problem whit gasritis time to time.
Thank you.

Hello. Sorry for the delay I was off the past couple of days.

Sounds like it's just a normal occurrence in your husband. If everything in normal otherwise and he doesn't feel bad then it may just be normal for him.

If he starts to feel funny or notices anything then he may want to have a complete blood profile done including male hormones i.e., testosterone to make sure everything is ok.

Hope this answers your questions. Have a great day.
