Had a dermatological procedure today and my pulse was monitored throughout as I have SVT and had local anaesthetic. Dermatologist said radial artery pulsation was v strong in right wrist and v weak in left. He recommended consulting GP but it's impossible to get an appointment here. I left a message with cardiologist's secretary but have had no response. Should I be worried?

I expect it's been like that for a long time. You should have your blood pressure checked in each arm to see if there is a significant difference. You can buy a bp machine to do this if you can't access one.
There is no urgency to get an appointment with your GP, a couple of weeks wait should be fine, but you should be seen.
Not what you're looking for?
