But Would You Know It .. Yep though I would share my own pictures showing heart disease pathology FROM healthy to heart attack’s to what your left with if few percent to survive.

Top left is healthy Heart :)

Top right is start of heart issues stress heart attacks even angina.

Bottom left picture is full blown heart attack.

Bottom right picture is WHAT your left with I.e heart failure or congestive heart failure with systolic issues given heart fibrosis.

Pictures are mine and free to use to by anyone.

Is took half a life time to get these so treat them and your heart with respect it deserves.

After all most doctors don’t know if you have heart issues OR lung issues

Or is it that OLD the not really intrested enough to find out.

My doctor advised to ring in the morning and they can speak on the phone if any issues. It takes a fortnight or so to see a doctor, even in an emergency. I have to ring Chemist now for repeat prescriptions. This is the new way of doing things. Definately the way it will be in future even talk therapy is going web style. With the drop in ambulance availability we stand no chance in an emergency, some people are using ambulances for none emergency because they cannot see a doctor or get an house call.

No I’m young, mid forties, and I had a tussle with a hospital doctor on Tuesday who wanted to convince me I was perfectly healthy with no problems. I sat there flabbergasted because nurse taking observations was worried enough to go speak to someone and I was feeling pretty off colour. I think its a ‘thing’.... can they convince you that you are imagining it so that they don’t have to do anything. Anyway after telling him about the heart echocardiogram and lung scan, both of which have issues noted on them, a decision was made to do mri....just to reassure me. Huh! I don’t only need reassurance I want to know why I get sudden boughts of breathlessness, stage 1 high blood pressure, and a lung nodule with and..... wait for it....no answers.

Seems like the heart doctor didn’t know that lung problems can cause heart problems. I feel like I have to beg, (and did once literally) to get any consideration for things I can no longer manage on my own. My problem is that everything is intermittent, some weeks bad but not coinciding with hospital appointments and some weeks good.... so when they see me on a good day they think I’m attention seeking.

Hi Lavender- flowers.

Doctors gp’s do have you feeling nurotic.

The stuck in clinical bubble where reality eludes them I think.

For years and dozen ecg later I was told all my heart traces was normal YET when I got my full medical record TURNs out I have not had one normal ecg.

And if that’s not bad enough I have heart genetic issues MAINLY left anterior hemi block.

But according to them am fine WELL it explains a lot of my own symptoms AS I don’t feel as well as they like to think.

I would never think it’s you given my own experience It’s most definitely them
