Went to A&E on 21st August with racing heart, palpitations and feeling really unwell. Was diagnosed with an atrial flutter, prescribed Bisoprolol and edoxoban. Went for an echocardiogram on 20th October and waiting to hear back. How long do they take please ? Still waiting to hear about the 24 hour ecg appointment.

it takes a few weeks, especially if your hospital is in a different foundation to your go. Can you check your medical records? You are looking for a letter from hospital to gp. My chart ,the hospital portal or system online.

Thank you for your reply, I am looking at my NHS app most days to see if it’s been updated. I didn’t ask at the clinic when I would hear back, will give it another week then phone the gp surgery.

Not what you're looking for?
