So frustrating!

Stuck in limbo, I'm suffering a tight chest, discomfort on left side of chest, breathless at times, completely numb/heavy left arm and associated sick feeling and dizziness. Hall mark heart attack, but ECG results always come back clear (usually because it has calmed down by then), and bloods too (no Troponin test?!?!). Last time it happened was yesterday after 5 minutes of weeding, felt like I was going to collapse, heart rate was fast and took 30 minutes to settle. No idea what is happening, can't exercise, can't get much by way of referral! Private consultation next week though.

Mmm wonder if its a fib. I've had 2 private cardio appointments. Best money I have spent. Had a private EP yesterday in London too. I'm not a rich person but if its your health then it's a no brainer. Very best of luck, my tip would be make a short list of your concerns cos that 30 mins soon goes.
