My goodness, Queenie, I have only just read your posts.
That must have been very scary. thank goodness you went and got proper help and they dealt with you quickly and efficiently.
That is really bad them not letting your GP know your previous results, although I am surprised your GP didn’t chase it up before now, too.
Anyway, your have been seen now, and you will be tucked up in your own bed again tonight, so be thankful for that, and try to relax a little now.
I really hope everything works out well soon. x x
LQ, I’m so glad you’re back home and that some action has at last been taken. However, the delays you have been subject to are disgusting and you are perfectly correct in that such delays should never happen when someone’s life is potentially in danger. Of course, I suspect and sincerely hope that you are not actually in danger; I believe that atrial fibrillation is very often not in itself dangerous (especially since I have the same condition!).
I’d like to wish you the best of luck with the eventual outcome and am sure that things will turn out to be a welcome relief for you.
Echo JBR’s thoughts here. I too am on Bisoprolol for the same condition and hope too it is not life threatening for me. But. That doesn’t excuse the hospital’s negligence in following up on your results. Glad you took the initiative of going to A&E and getting yourself seen to.
@LionQueen I’m late to this thread, and so sorry to read what you’ve been through, but so pleased your situation has been taken seriously and you’re now being fast tracked. I’m absolutely disgusted by your cardio’s negligence in getting test results to your GP, with no action taken. Yes, mistakes can be made, but this really is unforgiveable. Thank heavens you’re now getting the help you so clearly need.
2021 really wasn’t your year, was it? Talk about bad luck being with you right up to the last day - you couldn’t make it up, could you? Sending wishes that 2022 will be a happier and healthier year for both you and John xx
I too have a heart condition Tachycardia. You explain the feelings well here except of instead of wanting to cry. When mine flares up I just want to scream.
I’m glad you’re okay and back home. Hopefully they get your treatment right. Nothing scarier IMHO than heart problems.
