Hi. Im 49years old, type 1 diabetic, when I was 42 I was having chest pain had various tests and told I had heart disease and angina I was put on a variety of tablets and given gtn. In 2016 I had another angiogram which showed I needed a double bypass, that got done in 2017. In 2018 I had an mri which showed i had had a silent heart attack, and another angiogram which showed the double bypass hadnt fully worked. I recently went to my cardiologist as I was having quite a few angina attacks and its causing me alot of distress, he said have another angiogram and looking at my previous pictures I would have stents or be booked in for another bypass. 2 weeks ago I had an angiogram, not by that cardiologist, to be told my arteries are narrow but he wont do a stent or another bypass, carry on with tablets and be reviewed in clinic. On Friday I received a copy of the letter that goes to my gp of which in that it said. "I am discharging her from cardiology." I havent even had a clinic appointment and personally been told. Absolutely fuming and very upset and feel neglected!!!!!!

Hello :-)

I am so sorry to hear what you have been and now going through I would be fuming to

I would certainly contact my Doctor and even suggest I see another Consultant

I would also be contacting the Consultants Secretary asking for a full explanation how I can be discharged when I have not even had my final appointment and that you disagree

Second opinion though is what I would be pushing for and we are entitled to them and don't give in till you feel content with your treatment or maybe in this case your lack of treatment

Good luck and please let us know how you get on :-) x
