Confused
I have just been to the Doctors for an appointment with a Nurse Practitioner, he rang me yesterday to give me my results of a
echocardiogram
. It appears I am now in heart failure, when I got there he wasn't there due to being ill.

Calcium scoring CT scan .. family related history
Had a comprehensive range of checks over a few separate appointments, starting with bloods (lipids check), ECG,
echocardiogram
and then was referred for a CT scan to check my calcium levels and score. Probably all sounds very familiar to many of you at this point ha !

60% to 80% stenosis in mid and distal LAD
I am now going to have a Stress
Echocardiogram
( looking for ischaemia in the LAD territory before undertaking any further invasive cardiac investigations ). Needless to say I am a bit worried ( I suffer with anxiety ).

Advise on bypass surgery
I was sent for a
Echocardiogram
and because of results was not allowed to go home. I had bypass surgery to remove a tumour the size of an egg. I've been left with palpitations and a fast heart rate. My after care has been terrible. I've had no one to ask for advice.

Not so simple...
I attended my appointment the following Wednesday and the practice nurse was very prompt to escalate to the GP, who sent me referrals to my local hospital cardiology department to have an
echocardiogram
and an ultrasound of my kidneys.

Ain’t that a kick in the teeth
The blood test results where abnormal in so many different levels, including sodium, potassium, hemoglobin and that magic PN-Pro BNP (I never heard of it either) and in the notes “Indications of heart failure” recommend
echocardiogram
and specialist consultation within 6 weeks.

Appalling Outpatients Appointment
I want to share the awful treatment I had at my appointment with the Neurology consultant at my local hospital last week. At little background to it - I had not had a face-to-face consultation since April 2019, no appointment in 2020 and a telephone appointment in April 2021 by the consultant I've seen
