I had heart failure in July 2016. Now take my blood pressure everyday. When I feel bad and dizzy. I try and see my doctor,yet if my ankles are not swollen he doesn’t seem interested. I explain my ankles have never been swollen. Last Tuesday I phone for appointment we do a triage where the doctor will phone you when he has slot. My slot 7/08/21. The pass week I have struggled with being out of breath,sore legs and earache. Put off going to the hospital as feel it’s not that bad. Then it flares up again.Any answers. My blood pressure is has varied from 100/68 to 180/99.

Do you still have the telephone number for the Heart Failure team at your local hospital? By pass the GP and speak to the HF team direct.
