Called 111 recently as I had pain radiating from right side of chest to back which had become much more uncomfortable overnight.
I had similar pain a few weeks previously which turned out to be pneumonia so initially thought this had returned and just needed antibiotics, but by the time I had arrived at my allocated appointment that afternoon I was also experiencing dull pain in my left shoulder and jaw. Due to this I had to have a heart trace and bloods taken.
Heart trace was OK but bloods showed a wee abnormality so more bloods needed to be taken three hours later. Second set of bloods taken and still awaiting doctor to let me know what the results are.
Although I have been here for nearly 10 hours the staff have been lovely and made sure I had something to eat and drink.
