Aching heart

I have like an ache in my chest not pain but I am aware, I have an appointment with my local GP on teusday I am hoping it's not my heart. On the up I don't have to have angioplasty now, I went for my pre op assessment and he said I had a narrowing of an artery in my groin (I had to have a CT scan in March as I had a blood clot in my little toe). After I told him about my PV JAK2+ he decided it was my blood that had caused the clot and that I don't need to have the surgery now

Hello Chez1947, I think you should phone your GP surgery and ask for some advice about this ache, rather than wait until next week. Best wishes, Maz

I once had such bad pain on my left side of my chest, I thought I was having a heart attack. I called an ambulance and was rushed to the hospital. It turned out I had a blood clot in my spleen. I found out at the time that the spleen is under your heart. I was in the hospital for three days . If I were you, I would definitely have it checked out sooner than later.

My discomfort is in the upper part of my chest, I couldn't get through to my doctors yesterday their phone system is a nightmare. It is not continuous it comes and goes.

Do you have an out reach service? Usually your Drs will have a number for you to call via voice recorded message or cal 111. They will be able to advise you.

Take care.
