So I had chest pains that gradually got worse during the day and evening. Eventually called the out of hours doctor who advised me to go to A&E.
Arrived there at 1.30am. I didn't leave until 4pm so it was a long, long wait but I cannot fault the staff or the service I received.
They were all polite and pleasant to deal with.
I had a thorough examination with a number of ECGs and bloods taken. Also had an x-ray taken. In the end I had a cardiologist come and speak to me to explain what they had or hadn't found.
It was reassuring to hear there were no signs of a heart attack and that my heart was in good order (that was worth the wait). In the end it seemed to be a muscular issue but I'm so thankful for the care and attention I was given.
