New Year update

Firstly Happy New Year to everyone.

Had a phone call last Thursday from my surgery to book an appointment for a blood pressure review.

Had the appointment this morning what an utter waste of my time and the GPs time they wanted to see me as my BP is still stubbornly very low and I'm still getting lightheaded and breathless he didn't check my BP I've now got three different diagnosis of the same thing the GP suggested I take a puff of GTN spray before I exercise as he thinks it's angina but he also said this could exacerbate my symptoms he also said I could go harder and faster with my exercise after I've done my exercise I'm absolutely shattered and don't have the energy to do much for the rest of yhe day apart from put my feet up and fall asleep.

Still waiting to hear back from the hospital about the 48 ECG I had done at the beginning of December feel as though I'm hitting my head against a brick wall.

If you have been waiting since the beginning of December for some some test results I suggest you contact the hospital and find out why you haven't heard. If you are still under a cardio consultant his/her medical secretary would be a good starting point.

Hello :-)

We all say Happy New Year and yet so often I wonder what is happy about it as we start it where we left the last one

You seem to be all over the place with your Doctors you must feel so confused it would make me want to scream at them

I do hope that ECG results come back soon and can shed some light on what is happening

Let us know how you get on :-) x
