The joys of ageing great service from NHS !

[macabethiel]

Been for another Electrocardiogram this morning to see WTF is going on with my blood pump. Need to wait a week or so to see how bad my valves are.

I thought it was pretty good service from the NHS as I saw my GP last Tuesday afternoon and got my test within 7 working days. Results will be through about same time next week.

Well I have missed out it took 7 GP visits. lol

Yes that seems pretty quick! All the best:thumbs

It was pretty quick in the end but it took 6 previous visits to my GP's practice since mid-March, being seen by 4 different GP's before one got his stethoscope out to have a listen at my ticker and send me for the test.

Each visit I presented the same symptoms of breathlessness after little exertion and a night time cough and wheezing. I have had heart issues for the last 10 years !

Obviously it's rocket science to get to where I am now.

My persistence is called the Wife !

Good on her, she is so right.

She could of said "Don't bother, probably nothing" whilst making a mental note to up the life insurance.:lol

Hopefully it's nothing, but these things need to be sorted.

Take care.
