Doctors were wrong

Just found out it wasnt anxiety or depression at all. In fact it was a heart abnormality. Tgose that feel really ill and are diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Get yoirself a good check up again and again. It took 7 months for the docs to finally get me tested. It wasnt my gp that secided to send me for the scan. According to my gp i was 100% suffering from depression and didnt take me seriously. I went to A&E who then sent me for the scan. Atleast i finally have the answer that i have a heart abnormality.

You can now get the treatment you need no wonder you felt anxious 👍🏻 x

I think sometimes the symptoms we get can make us anxious and doctors get a little lost in what comes first!

I’m so glad they found the cause. Hope it’s easily treatable and you return to good health
