I have cvd but not had discussion with GP I feel emotional at times. Is it that something has to happen like stroke or heart attack before I get help to understand it all.

Hello :-)

There is nothing worse than that feeling of not knowing having so many questions we need answering we can cope so much better once we do have the answers we need and it can make you feel emotional like you are feeling now

I am not sure why you have not been able to speak with your Doctor but you need to push to get an appointment so you can talk this through with them

I really hope you will keep trying to get an appointment and hopefully once you have you will feel better than you do now :-) x

Thank you so much I will keep trying but getting appointments is very frustrating as there’s always a long queue on the phone and unless it’s something that needs medication then you get to see the doctor otherwise it’s a call back system and as I have bad tinnitus I soon get frustrated as I miss some words.

Hello :-)

I know it is really frustrating getting to speak with a Doctor hung on the end of the phone for ages but it would be so worth it to get the answers you need :-)

Hope you manage to get to speak with them and if you do let us know how you got on :-) x

Hi bonny you have definitely arr'ed in the right place. I've been a member a few years now but only came back few weeks ago. I was put on a tablet (beta blocker) for sinus tachycardia & wanted to know if anyone else had any side effects from this med

I couldn't have had anymore caring advice & interesting info if I'd gone to a Harley St specialist.

Nice to know your not alone. 🤗
