Sleep Apnea—One of the Concerns to Top a Wife’s Worry List

Does your husband snore? Could he have sleep apnea? Have you tried to get him into a sleep lab for evaluation? Has he gone in to see his regular doctor? What other health concerns do you have for your husband?

If you recognize yourself here as a wife who worries about her husband and his lack of interest in his own health, the book Your Husband’s Health: Simplify Your Worry List by Dr. Kathleen W. Wilson may be an answer to your prayers.

As men age they are at higher risk for heart attack, stroke or cancer. Men may worry about their health but not acknowledge it because of the weakness it could reveal. During middle life, wives generally nag their husbands to see the doctor, eat healthier, and exercise. Many do it to prevent the nightmare of finding him out cold on the floor, no longer breathing, and in need of emergency medical care.

Dr. Wilson wrote this book to empower women to learn what is really needed to keep their husbands healthy. She touches on a wide range of topics including sleep apnea, depression, heart disease, cholesterol, cancer, diabetes, and weight—common ailments affecting men in their 50s. 

Published in 2003, Your Husband’s Health is one of Amazon’s top 100 books.
