LIFE SPACE INVESTIGATION
52 yrs male came to OPD with c/o of chest pain and much anxiety, he said it was due to retrosternal burning, he was asked if any past h/o of chest pain or hypertension, he refused and after much inquiry he said, yes in past he had chest pain ie a yr back which was typical as per the previous reports with him. He was trying to hide his illness.
Pt is from small village where he lives with his wife and 3 children. He is farmer by occupation and owns 2-3 acres of land. Wife and children help him in farming .He was born in a joint family; had 2 uncles. All affairs of the family were looked by elder uncle. Father’s nature was very quiet and cool. He never had fights with any one; he also never opposed anyone. Mother’s nature was strict and dominating. Uncle was short tempered and alcoholic and dominated whole family. Pt’s father had 2 wives. He had no children from 1st wife so he married 2nd time. 1st wife also stayed with him. Pt said he loved and was attached to the 1st mother than his real mother as she cared for them more than there mother.
He studied upto 4th Std. He was interested to study but his Fa told him to leave studies and pay attention to farming, so he had to leave it. It was against his wish but as father had told so he had to accept. Still he used to go to school hiding from his father, but later left it totally and joined farming. Other siblings were also doing same. He then got married. It was an arranged marriage. He thought of doing tailoring. He first learned it under a tailor and then started taking his own orders. He started his shop in nearby city almost 7-8 kms away from his home. He used to go walking then later by cycle. He worked hard to support the family; all income was given to father as he was head of the family. Afterwards everyone got separated and pt had 2 acres of land in his share. He then started farming again and also did tailoring. He worked very hard to bring up his family.
He arranged his daughter’s marriage. Son in law was good by nature; many times he helped pt by giving money. Pt was almost dependent on him during stressful events. But, 2 yrs after the marriage his son in law died in an accident which was very shocking for pt. He felt as if there is no security left, he stayed at his daughters place for about a month after son in laws death. His granddaughter was kept by in laws, and he along with daughter came back as other sister in law said why should we keep her here now that her husband is dead? During that whole month, patient had to face daily up and downs. He had no support; he started consuming more alcohol and experienced chest pain and later developed so severe pain, was hospitalized and diagnosed to have hypertension and angina. Now on asking him what about his daughter’s remarriage, he replied calmly, "It depends on her, if she wants, we will help her." But it was apparent that he felt more bad about loss of his support.
Now he is staying with his daughter, son and wife. He is not much interested in family matters. He says that everyone is good with me, take care so why should I have any complaints? I get my food at time why should I complain. Overall during interview he contradicted himself many times. He seemed to be a calm, dependent and anxious person. If work is not done on time he gets irritated and shouts on others.
