"Cardiologist and radiotherapy"

About: Queen Margaret Hospital / Radiology

(as the patient),

After being seen by a  Dr cardiologist for chest pain was told they were 99.9% sure my heart was healthy. After complaining to my local GPs for 2yrs about ongoing chest pain to be told by a GP it was due to my anxiety, which I knew wasn't the case. After further complaining to my GPS, I was seen by a 3rd GP who eventually got the ball rolling and was given a 2nd appointment with the Cardiologist again where was told same thing heart was healthy.

After explaining myself about lifestyle the cardiologist agreed to get me sent to radiology for MRI scan to have a dye inserted into the heart to see if any possibility of start of clot to which was cancelled due to Corona 19 to which I can understand ,where I'm going with this is, does it need to get to the stage where I could possibly be blue lighted to Edinburgh with suspected heart attack? where if this does end up the case ud think since hospitals are actually empty at this moment in time they could be getting myself and 1000"s more to get problems dealt with before it's matter of fighting for ure life or death.

Hope anyone reading this can totally understand my frustration thru all of this, as I'm here a was also given MRI an ct scan to be told results were fine only to be phoned a week later to tell me I have COPD,

Can't understand why these specialists can be missing important results it's totally wrong .
