iworkwhippets 12,759 Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 What a day yesterday, i was woke early and honestly lads i was struggling for breath, i have been diagnosed with a small leak in my heart but according to my doctor, no operation or meds needed at this time, i got that bad i tried ringing my doctor they open at 8, i was number 29 on the waiting list so i rang 111. next min the paramedics arrived, now in the past i have had tests for my condition mri scans and an appointment at the at the audiology clinic and was told that they couldnt find out wrong with me, and its just the after effects of my stroke, anyway the paramedics checked me over and said to me, i will now tell you keith what is wrong with you, your heart rate is low and your blood pressure is struggling to compensate, and that is why you are having dizzy spells and struggling to breath the paramedics asked how come i didnt contact my doctor so i gave him my phone to ring them, number 12 in the waiting list, so he went down to the doctors in the ambulance, i now have to wait for an appointment up the hospital, for maybe a pacemaker , but was told i may have to wear a heart monitor for a while before any medication or pacemaker fitted Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t want that monitor off the scale with all the hilarity and high jinx on here. Seriously though, hope they get to the bottom of it.
