Hi Gaz22

I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling unwell with the chest infection at the moment, I see this has been going around a lot lately and I’m sure it’s the last thing you need. In addition to the antibiotics and steroids, you can also try some home remedies like honey and lemon in warm water to help soothe your throat.

I suppose it’s a relief knowing what has been causing that awful swelling in your leg. Will they be reducing the dose or continuing you on the medication?

I really hope cardiology have something to offer in terms of your abnormal ECG and do make contact with you or the GP. I don’t really have much advice to offer in this aspect of things I’m afraid.

Let us know how you get on.
