Another trip to A&E

back in A&E last night.didn’t go by ambulance,my son took me. First they “forgot” to do my bloods so I waited 5 hours for my first results, I had morphine and I had some codeine with me.

my ecg was fine and bloods came back ok.

All the doctors and nurses were really nice and said a few times my Angina requires specialist help and all they could do was offer pain relief.

I chose not to have a 2nd blood test as I was and still am exhausted.

I’ve been given codydramol to try, the codeine is good but makes me extremely dizzy.

hopefully this appointment won’t be too long 🤞

Hello :-)

Sorry you had yet another trip to A&E you will feel like you have moved in there soon !

Usually when they do my first blood test they say I need the second one and if I leave before I have it they have to advise me they do not agree with me doing so but my choice always works though making me stay for the second one but maybe in your case they are sure this is angina and why they let you go

Just be careful with the codeine even though it is good for pain it can often cause constipation

I really do hope you get to see a specialist soon I can imagine by now how exhausted you must be feeling

Let us know how you get on :-) x
