I was in three weeks ago for the same thing. Was told I would see a cardiologist and have a scan. Waited three days to then be sent home to await an appointment without seeing anyone and to have complete rest without lifting😂...have scan in June....but now on statins and an aspirin. Keep smiling xx

For 18 months l had undiagnosed unstable angina docs said the pain was from the damage done to my chest when paramedics saved my life when l had a major heart attack finally after being in and out of hospital for 18 months finally on last visit a doc organised a angiogram where it was discovered l have unstable angina ,2 major arteries 35% and 45% blocked and quiet a few small arteries 100% blocked Docs put me on 10mg Amlodipine and for the first time since heart attack my chest pain is now bearable. Copd has kicked in Doc said l am a heart attack waiting to happen go home and enjoy your life , l have no follow up appointment.

So l feel as tho this is it and l just trying to enjoy every sunset and sunrise and my lovely family

No useful advice I'm afraid. I read a lot to stop me thinking. I hope you're soon feeling much better. I certainly appreciated my own bed and food when I got home!
