Hi

I am 49 over a period of 2 years I've been back and to to the doctors with various ailments, palpitations, dizzyness I was putting it down to perimenopause. Dec 19 I fell downstairs paramedics detected irregular heartbeat so I returned to docs had an ecg I was told results were nothing to worry about. I Continued to get palps. So went back docs I then had 72 hr ecg and echogram. 3 weeks ago I got a call asking me to go for angiogram the letter says my heart is quite weak and I've been prescribed bisoprolol, ramipril and 2 lots of water tablets. It's come as a shock to say the least. My doctor wrote on my sick note lvsd. I've not yet had the angiogram as I've still got covid 😢. I googled and I know I shouldn't have but I'm stuck in can't have the test yet I'm feel scared and lonely... I've read some stories which are encouraging
