I have always been given mine immediately. Try asking your GP who should have been sent the results.

Hi deesband you should have had your results at the time (well I always have had) so as the others say give them a call. Good luck! Xx

[deesband in reply to Sheilab123]

It only takes a few minutes.

Your results must've been normal if you were not notified

I am, unfortunately, a regular visitor to A&E with breathing problems. I always have an ABG (Arterial Blood Gas) done. They take the sample to a machine that is kept in A&E and then, after 5 minutes or so, the doctor will show me the results and discuss what the ABG showed and what treatment is so required.

Chase for your results. They should be in your file.
