Lovely to hear some positive news about the NHS! I'm glad you were able to get the help you needed quickly and are feeling better now. Best wishes for a quick recovery.

Check me out throughly oxygen levels, blood pressure, and ECG. All good and no need to go to hospital . They were very kind but professional. Reassured me that ringing 999 is always what I must do. Didnt do it at Christmas because of the news about ambulance. Not this time did the right thing just really tired
