Another cardiologist referral

Back again. A few days ago ended up back in a n e due to my pulse jumping up just sitting. They did the usual EKG blood pressure and pile then sent me home telling me to contact my GP. I did that and I've goty third referral bk to cardiology for an ekg and holster fitting. It's just constant backwards and forwards I'm on bisporolol and last cardiologist reasoning was sinus tachycardia. Just frustrated that I'm being tossed backwards and forwards and never.seeing the same person which means I have to keep repeating myself and getting brushed off.

Though you are frustrated at the to-ing and fro-ing you are having to do, when I'm sure you don't feel so good, you do now have a Cardiologist appointment, who hopefully will get you some good treatment. I just hope thats soon.

The NHS is under so much pressure. I’m afraid so many here say their service is struggling.

hi I’d echo what  Kristin1812 said, I saw the positive in your post that they are willing to do tests and investigate albeit there will be waits but they are working on getting to the bottom of things.

But the journey to be fully diagnosed, understood and then treated is one of the most difficult, frustrating and yes two step forward three back but each time a little progress is good. And it takes a lot out of us to keep fighting when we’re in pain and tired.

It took about a year to get to proper Diagnosis for me and I count myself very lucky but for some it can take many years.

So what I’m saying is it’s good you’re getting seen / tested, it’s pants that waiting times will be hard to bear, and the journey will be fraught and frustrating BUT some day hopefully soon they’ll have answers.

I never knew how much I’d have to learn, how much I’d need to push and yes repeat myself umpteen times.

Definitely helps to vent here though!

Utmost Good luck.
