Off to hospital tomorrow for a heart operation. Terrified tbh, wish I could cancel and just keep taking the beta blockers but tbh, they are horrible meds, so I won’t. 

If I don’t die, I hope I make it back in time for France v Scotland. That’ll help 🤣

All the very best for today.

Since morning I have had a sensation in my chest like the fluttering feeling of anxiety, but minus the anxiety.

In fact, it's giving me anxiety.

Do you reckon I'm having a heart attack?

I've had quite a few 'feck, am I dying?' moments.  I just wait 10 years and, if I'm still around, I assume it was nothing serious.

I have my 12 yearly appointment today to see if there is anything new for the rare genetic skin condition i have on my feet. 

I normally treat them myself with chainsaw/blowtorch etc but ive been letting them grow so they can be seen in their natural state and they are a sight to behold.

The last time there were about thirty young doctors doing training having a look!

Why 12 yearly appointment?  Seems a random number, why not 10?

B.T.W. those feet are bowfin - no offence like.

Quick question on chest pains. If you start getting them regularly, when should you get them seen to? I mean, if you're having them daily, sure. What about weekly?

There’s a lot of causes, but the heart is a pretty common factor in recurrent chest pain, so I’d say see your GP to discuss it sooner rather than later…especially with the delays in referrals.

I can authoritatively offer a wee bit of advice on this as my auld ma, who has angina, has been in hospital twice in the last month with chest pain.

If you, or a loved one, suddenly suffer from severe chest pain, DO NOT call NHS24. This will only result in wasting approx. 1 hour of being on hold and then going through the call handler's script of questions. (NHS24 would ultimately be calling for ambulance in any case.) Call 999 immediately, tell the call handler that the issue is "chest pain" and ask for ambulance.

The above information was given to me by a paramedic who attended my mother at 4.10am after I had called NHS24 at 9.30pm.

By using the 999 service, the person suffering "chest pain" basically goes to the top of the queue with regard to ambulance / paramedic call out.

HTH.

While the answer might be to get straight into the medical system, the first question for you is - have you changed anything recently?

i.e. are you doing anything particularly strenuous (Gym, DIY, picking up the bazillions of leaves in the garden) that you were not doing "pre pain", as it could be as simple as a pulled muscle that you are aggravating.

Hope you get it sorted, either way.
