6 Replies

Hi I'm newbie i started feeling unwell beginning of November 3 visits to doctors and getting worse in December woke up in night with chest pain sweating like I had been in bath and needing loo i remember going toward bath room andThen getting back into bed.in morning I got up and went to work I could not do a thing by 12 midday I came home wife phoned 111 next thing I know chewing on a tab and having spray under tongue wenta&e blood test xt'ay 12 hrs later told yo go home come back first thing in morning. Anyway lunch time i woke and after being nagged by wife went back I had missed 7 missed calls from cau department had another xray blood test and told i had had a heart attack and was lucky but then gave me a bag of pills and said I had angina ? And needed a scan i checked my nhs app wife set up only discharge note saying in message new meds I now have a ct heart scan appointment on 21st of March .I am currently so tired I have been sleeping all different times .

Don't know what is truly wrong dull constant pain in chest spray works but have pain lying down sitting up . Out of breath trying to get up stairs.

Don't want to go back A&E feel like wasting there time . Question is could I have had a heart attack and be treated for angina if i have not made sense please don't beat me I just don't know and my head all over the place I found a code xarfo myocardial infarction quality indicators informed dissent.,??

Looked it up eventually don't understand but dissent means disagree or refuse i thought. Not refused anything just want to know every twinge think its my last Hope i have not waffled just so worried not knowing.

People on here are discouraged from giving advice or commenting on medical conditions. due to community guidelines. However you could discuss your situation with the BHF Heart Helpline nurse details below

But if your symptoms noticeably deteriorate, especially if this is sudden, do not hesitate to call 999 and follow their instructions, and certainly do not feel guilty about potentially 'wasting their time' for it might be serious, and that is why they are there.

I would go back to A&E or see your doctor ASAP, you are not wasting anyone’s time, it’s always better to be safe rather than sorry.

Sounds like you may have something similar to what I have but you really do need to follow this up. BHF helpline as mentioned above? Or talk to GP? Incidentally I have Coronary Artery Spasm, once called Prinzmetal Angina or sometimes called Unstable Angina. Hope you can get some answers!

It is possible to phone A&E and ask for an explanation. Otherwise go back there or phone 111.

I would say that you are not going to have anyone saying that you are wasting their time. Call 111 or go to A&E. It is so much easier to be able to say that you went but did not need treatment rather than you should have gone but left it too late.

Not what you're looking for?
