My husband is upset with me because I shared his dizziness symptoms with his mother, a nurse, and she immediately identified the cause (which i had idea,) prompting my concern for his well-being. And now he says that he can’t tell me anything. ( she didn’t tell him, I did because I don’t like keeping anything from him)
Unless he and his mom are on bad terms (and you still went to her) I don’t think you betrayed his trust.
It sounds like he’s struggling to come to terms with whatever health issues he’s facing. And focusing on that because his emotions need a target he likely doesn’t even realize that’s what he’s doing

Why are you dumping your problems on us talk to him

There is always a reason we don’t tell everyone about ourselves, even our sicknesses, go apologise and ask why he didn’t want his mother to know

Once my husband was having pain in heart and left arm. I grabbed my phone to talk to my aunt who is a doctor. And he got angry. Men don’t like discussing their heath issues with anyone I guess. May be they think it’s some kind of weakness. Who knows how their brain works…

He has no reason to be upset with you unless he told you not to tell anyone. Is there a reason he doesn’t want his mother to know?
I think he’s projecting. He’s probably not even upset about you telling his mum unless they are on bad terms. I think he’s concerned about what’s going on with him and he’s taking it out on you. Just be there to support him but let him know its not right that he’s focusing his anger/anxiety on you

What’d she said it is?? I ask cause I have a dizzy issue myself
If I’m being honest? I’d tell him to get over it. His health is more important than his ego or pride and too many men ignore their health until it’s too late. I’d tell him I’m sorry he feels that way, but you care about him and want him to be around for a good while. Sudden or random dizziness is NOT normal and if he didn’t get it checked out himself he can’t be mad you got worried and asked his mom who is even a nurse
