CT Aorta

Hi

Went for my yearly check at hospital told everything ok whilst on holiday had a call from dr consultant had sent a letter to put my Ramipril up to 10 milligrams and a CT scan I have a flap missing on Aorta and some blood leaking back (this was found on my last visit last year). I questioned why wasn’t told but apparently consultant made decision for CT scan after reviewing my notes which I would have thought he would have done this before seeing me.

Often there are peer or MDT reviews of results. These may only occur weekly so may not happen for up to seven day post test (longer if results not fully analysed for a few days). Don't worry about it or waste energy getting angry. After the CT scan, and maybe other tests, they will work out the optimal treatment for you.

Hi

To date my treatment has been fine I am fairly feet walk every where and watch my diet and my condition is ‘satisfactory’ It’s the lack of information that gets up my nose tried to find out from GP but not much in leter.

I am due to go for a job interview today but finding hard to concentrate on anything

Another view could be that he’s reflecting on your behalf, after he saw you and your results. I had the same thing, when the Consultant contacted me a couple of weeks after my appt and said he’d reviewed everything and come to a rather different conclusion and plan to go forward. Thank goodness for skilled people working on my case.
