Still feeling rubbish at times.

5 Replies

It's been 2 weeks since my exercise stress test but I've still not had any results or info back even though my heart rate was 186 during the test which may be ok and normal I dont know.I know things take time and no news is good news but im still having episodes and being symptomatic.

I have an ilr in place so I press my call/activator button to highlight the episodes as they happen but I still hear nothing from anyone.

The last few days my heart rate has been in the mid 40s with irregular/ectopic beats and palpitations etc and my oxygen levels are dropping to mid 80s at times while awake resulting in me feeling very tired.

Fingers crossed I will know more soon .

Why not contact the hospital unit to find out when your results will be available? You might be able to expedite them getting to you . Better still they might be available now and you will be told the outcome over the phone before you receive any paperwork.

I called the hospital yesterday unfortunately they wouldn't tell me anything other than they would be in touch when they know more.

What does your GP say?

in reply toJedi14

I spoke to my GP last wk to see if he had my results all he said was the hospital would contact me directly with them first but he has requested them to chase it up asap.

Not what you're looking for?
