Blooming heck what a night , after the ivabradine 4mg for my scan by 4 o clock I felt Not too good having slept all afternoon with chest pressure , pulse and blood pressure all over the place and a raging headache, at 8-30 I rang 111 to see if a doctor could give me a rough idea how long this takes to go out of your system usually as my heartbeat was dropping to low 50 and felt awful.111 said a paramedic would come to check me because of my symptoms, I asked should I pop to a&e they said no have spray to hand be with you soon .
I sat quietly and about 11 I rang 999 just to ask if anyone was coming , yes I was on the list be with you before you know it .At 1.30 in the morning I have to be honest I felt much better and it seemed daft for an ambulance to come when so many people were waiting so I rang 999 to explain that I believed the drug was going out of my body and felt much better , to their credit a Clinical nurse ( think that’s her title) rang me back a few minutes later to go through everything and make sure I was definitely ok and cancel the ambulance. She was brilliant 😊
I hope the NHS gets the support it badly needs from the government as they are our life line and work so hard !
