Neither what happened last time nor the date of your next appointment is at all relevant! As others have advised ring 111 if you have not done so already. If the pain spreads to arm or jaw it is 999 immediately. Paramedics and A&E staff prefer the walking wounded to unconscious patients!

Please update us when you can.

Agree with other posts. Don’t mess around HeroOfTime. Emergency services won’t mind if you have to calm them out after ringing 111.

Agree with other comment

s, ring 111 or if pain spreads 999 - if you have heart issues ambulance crew/paramedics will understand your concern

Hi go ask your doctor to chance the appointment up

So you can see your cardiologist faster

Well you have already given yourself the diagnosis so why have you not rang 111 or even better 999? What more can your body do to tell you to get on with it!

Hospital staff usually say that, if you have a heart condition and you are experiencing chest pains, don't hang about. Dial 999 and get an ambulance.

Hope you are getting on ok x

Puzzling post! You can't be diagnosed on the internet and then no feedback from OP. I am assuming it was genuine!

Thanks all, very sceptic about A&E as been up there in the past & nothing has been done, will bring it up with doctors & see what they say

Not what you're looking for?
