Still Waiting for Appointment.

[Fourwhitesheps]

Hi have been in and out of hospital since December with unstable angina. I have had two angiograms waiting for a third so they can drill to try and fit a stent. I have100 percent blockage in my right artery double vessel disease. I had my heart attack in September and feel that this is never ending and waiting for the appointment is the worse. I am on so many tablets that my blood pressure is 88/59 and struggling to get above this. Went to the Doctors today and he wasn’t concerned even though I am so lightheaded and have jelly legs. Was sent away with a prescription for gaviscon as I said indigestion was troubling me. I am so fed up as feel absoloutely lousy . Is anyone else waiting? How are you coping.

Hi. Waiting is awful isn't it? Just want to get on with it, and stop the waiting and the feeling lousy and the endless thinking about all the ins and outs of whats happening.

I hope you get your procedure really soon. I’m guessing (because the GP was OK about it) they are keeping your BP low to keep you safe, while you wait…..so feeling really lousy is not nice, but really necessary.

Bear up. We’re with you.

PS I remember it was the sound of drilling that was the most unexpected bit when I had some drilling done! Bit like the old dentists drill (if you are old enough to remember?).
