Hi Everyone and thanks for all your replys to my previous post. My Wife ended up phoning for an Ambulance at 01:30 this morning as I couldn't breathe or feel my legs. I used my GTN SPRAY but didn't help. Anyway the Ambulance man was brilliant he did all the checks and was talking to my wife about me. There was Arrhythmias showing on the ecg. He said that this is going to keep happening till stents are fitted. He Admitted me to Hospital they took blood's Ecg chest xray. Didn't tell me anything and went home after many hrs. The Ambulance man also suggested that I should change my Gp practice. I went to the doctors a few day's ago seen a different GP and was just told to carry on as I am. I'm so confused and extremely worried about my health. And the effects it's having on my family seeing me like this. Also just to clarify a few things from my last post. I Don't Drink, I Don't Smoke but did year's ago, Don't touch any Drugs. I'm 6ft 2in and a healthy weight. And have been having healthy home cooked foods.

Wishing you all the very best. Ensure you have the best medical teams supporting you be that GPs or hospital medics. The best people make such a difference.

Always shout out if you arent being looked after fully. You deserve and should have the very best support. Best wishes.

Has your gp received a letter from the hospital about your visit to the hospital yet? I found it useful to have a copy to read.

Hopefully your gp can then talk to you about any potential diagnoses by the hospital and give you a clear idea of the next steps and timelines if they may be suggesting an angiogram and possibly a stent.

Also what do you look out for and do in the meantime.

It may be a lot to take in and I took notes and had my wife in the meeting too.

Have you considered seeing the consultant privately? I understand the cost to be around £250 plus costs of any tests.

It is likely they will do a more thorough job and get to the bottom of your current problems and can thereby set a course of action which might be medication or it might be surgery via the NHS.
