I took unwell at work - in the middle of making a presentation I could breathe, swallow, had chest pains and tingling in both arms. Having not experienced these symptoms before I also panicked and also became quite emotional.
Given the symptoms I was seen quickly. The triage nurse in A and E put me at ease and talked me through my symptoms- it became apparent that I had suffered an anxiety/ panic attack. My heart was checked and I was also examined for a possible stroke. I was given the all clear - all staff dealt with me professionally and didn’t downplay the effects the panic attack had on me. From the reception to triage to medical assessment I have nothing but praise.
"A very positive experience"
