"Failure to communicate with other health care providers"

Following an episode of Covid in 2022, I developed orthostatic tachycardia. It took a long time despite clear indicators that this might meet criteria for POTs.

After referral to cardiology at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, guidance was given to my GP about treatment. On follow-up late last year, further decisions were made about management of this condition, with recommendations for further changes in medication if no improvement was experienced.

Despite enquiries from my GP to the cardiologist, continuing delays in any response means that the detriment to my health has now now continued for about 2 years.

I feel the continuing failure of the cardiologist to liaise with my GP is the single factor that is isolating me from active health care and living a healthier life.
