went to hospital , blood pressure and little chest paint, been told this is a heart attack, injection in the stomuch and tranfared to another hospital ICU, another injection in stomuch, thats 2 injections in 2 hours, 4 days i hospital all the tests clear..nothing wrong with me, medications to take plus GTN spray when need..no heart attack no other problems, but to take medications plus GTN spray

GTN was taken every 1 or 2 days blood pressure coming up...but same time taken blood pressure tablets and other tablets from hospital include Clopidogrel 75mg

as i said all tests were clear but taking all this medications

i had to investigate my self what is wrong with me private specialists and pay alot of money, this was going an going, the last visit was a Neurology, many tests and at the end the results ...brain cluster-cluster headaches..he told me to stop all medications from hospital, because they damage me ,specialy to stop the GTN spray, they are treating heart attack but you are clear,taking this medications will hurt you more, thats why you have now brain cluster beacuse of this medications..im sleeping in computer chair for 4 months becuase cant sleep on bed putting my head down...when pain comes feel like to kill my self to stop this big headaches..hard to understand how i feel..i was a normal person with my life,after this wrong medications for 6 -7 moths taken they damage me alot...both 2 hospitals were wrong and why they gave me all this medications not having heart attack...my life is change..

Hello :-)

I am sorry what you have been through and I cannot give you the answers why this happened

I am in the UK and here are system no doubt will be different but I think in the UK we would write or email the Hospital but a complaint in ad ask them why and then some may decide if they have a case to go for compensation

Not sure if this is an option how it would work where you are but most important I am glad you now now what is wrong with you and getting the right treatment which I hope will soon help to make you feel better :-)

Let us know how you get on :-) x
