last week i started getting pains across my chest
monday i started a new levothyroxine tablet and an antibiotic for a gum infection (metronidazole)
pains started wednesday
called drs friday for appointment but they were fully booked so got the triage nurse to call me
told her my symptons ect and said about the antibiotics and she said she felt it wasnt cardiac but wanted me to go to A/e for a check up due to diabetes and family history
get there about 10am seen pretty fast had bloods and ecg, dr comes back and says ecg is fine and bloods were good except glucose which was high and that someone from cardiac team would come see me soon, repeat ecg done then dr says there were irregularities, blood pressure was high and pulse slow and that someone from cardiac team would see me soon
was then walked round for chest x ray and was told to wait for results and cardiac team
i was then given 500mg asprin and an injection in my stomach to stop blood clotting
2.30pm i was wheeled out into the corridoor and left, asked what was going on and dr said someone from cardiac would be with me soon
by this time my anxiety was through the roof, i took all my will power to stop my self from crying
had stats done again at 3.ish and was told they would be down soon
4pm stats done again and this time the nurse stood looking at me and asked if i was ok to which i broke down and said to her get the discharge papers as i wanted to leave, she asked if i wanted a cuppa and i said no get the papers im going home, she got the papers and said if i felt the need to go back, i signed and walked out in tears
everytime the dr said someone from cardiac would be down to see me i asked if i could go home and come back when they were ready and each time he told me they wouldnt be long
i was sat there for 6 hours and no one told me anything
i told dr i had bad anxiety ect and he didnt seem to care
i figured / hoped if there was anything wrong they would call me
im calling my dr tomorrow to see if he can give me answers, ive been in high anxiety mode since leaving the hospital but i just couldnt take any more
side effects of the metronidazole is chest pain
ive also been stopped thyroxine liquid and put on tablets so they need to get into my system
i stopped smoking for 3 years and started back up new years eve due to severe depression and anxiety so i know that has to stop
ive had a constant headache with this gum infection thats just not clearing up, i feel sick literally with worry, my blood sugars are staying pretty high
my dadd had a heart problem my mum had a heart problem and my mums mum had a heart problem..........im scared
