Hi  Gaz22

I’m sorry to hear you are continuing to feel poorly.

It really does sound like you need some urgent medical attention to me. I appreciate that your doctor has arranged for some bloods and an ECG, but your appointment for these may not be due yet.

In the meantime, with your dizzy spells and sweating, the last thing you want is to pass out or your symptoms to escalate. I think this would warrant a call to 111 or if you can manage to get yourself down to A&E, they can check your bloods and do an ECG with results back today.

Let us know how you get on.

All the best.

when you feel dizzy, does it feel like your eyes are shaking. I had those symptom you describe and it turned out to be vertigo. I think you should seek medical care either way. Don't wait for your scheduled appointment. Dizzy is not to be ignored in my opinion.

Hi Thanks for your reply, My eyes do not feel like they are shaking I just start sweating forehead and going fuzzy headed and can't think straight, Last time I had symptoms like this was about 4 years ago also was then getting chest pains and heart consultant said I was over medicated, I am getting a blood test done for my swelling lower legs done tomorrow Thursday and they are also doing extra blood tests aswell now

Just had an ECG today first one I had says Slight intracellular conduction delay. Minor inferior repolarization disturbance, consider ischemia. LV overload or aspecific change and flat or low negative T in aVF with negative in T in iii and I had another one a minute later saying ECG normal can't work it out, Doctor's phoned me to make a appointment to see doctor in 3 weeks time

I’m glad you’ve had the ECG. It sounds like there were some changes in it however, it would be very unlikely that they would discharge you if it required immediate attention. I hope some of the symptoms that you initially reported on your post have subsided a little bit now.

Let us know how your ECG in 3 weeks goes!
