Hi, I'm having a bit of a meltdown at the moment and don't really know what to do. I went to GP over a year ago with breathlessness and chest tightness. As I'm overweight it was put down to possible heart trouble and I was sent for a scan and then an angiogram. This showed, while there was a slight

Small step forward
Ooh, that was tricky. I visited the dr to ask for a specialist's diagnosis and the first question that she asked was if I had private health care..I don't and that's a rant for another post! My bullet points got me past the next hurdle as she tried to re-direct me and I concluded that if I understood

I was given an inhaler which I have never used. Visiting a different Dr. he was surprised with the diagnosis and ordered

Should I come off the pill - depression?
It was recommended that I manage my symptoms by taking the pill (currently on
Cilest
), however, I just feel SO down and depressed taking it. I'm on the verge of tears every day.
