Hi, 2 months ago I had an episode of chest pain with some breathlessness, dizziness and coughing which lasted a hour or so. I saw the doctor a couple of days later, they did an ECG which was ok, but it was advised I should go for a treadmill ECG. 2 weeks later I went for this but they found a murmur and by that time I had had a brief blackout. I was advised not to drive and they would not do a treadmill test but booked me in for a Holter 24 hr ecg , cardiac ultrasound and CT of my coronary blood vessels. I had the Holter monitor, but was fine when they did this, and the ultrasound. I have not had any results as yet. I am due to go for the CT tomorrow. Whilst waiting for the appointments I had been fine and thought everything was going to be ok, but 4 days ago I had 2 episodes again, the chest pain was not as bad but the breathlessness was worse and I was coughing up clear watery fluid and the dizziness was also quite bad. ( no blackout though). During one episode I felt a hammering sensation in my chest. Yesterday I had to come home from work as I had another episode and continued to feel breathless and dizzy afterwards (slept for 14 hours)
My boss has been very unsympathetic and although I told him I had been advised not to drive he went on holiday leaving me rota'd to travel between branches with no-one else to cover for me. since I came home yesterday he has started to question when I will be able to drive again or if I will be able to return to work at all! I worry he is looking to dismiss me due to ill health which is not helping!
