So 15 months post HA and living with heart failure, my husband is getting pains in his chest regularly, off he trots to the GP who thinks it is best to refer him back to the cardiologist "just in case" Well this was several weeks ago and after a number of calls, non of which were returned, now he has a letter..... 45 weeks. !!!!! This is at York District Hospital.
I know there is always 999 and A&E but if we went every time he had a pain we would never be away from the place and sitting in a crammed A&E hours on end without proper food and drink only stresses him more and makes his symptoms worse.
This situation is making me anxious and worried. Any suggestions to get him seen quicker? Any recommendations for a private cardiologist in the area (York, Leeds)? Thank you.
