"Interesting Morning"

About: North Devon District Hospital / Accident and emergency

(as the patient),

 I was having bit of irregular heart beat! Woke up in night and it was all over the place, so firth thing I rang 111 and told them, but added I was self isolating, due to returning from Portugal. Said not a good idea to go to GP, so within half hour ambulance was here. I had an ECG and was taken to the A & E at district hospital in Barnstaple. I was given a Covid test, put on a monitor, given lots of tests, had blood taken, and had a chest X-ray  4 hrs later I’m home. They are not sure what is causing it, but said nothing to worry about, it’s a Benign irregular heart beat. X-ray and  bloods fine but I have to go for follow up treatment to see what is causing it, said it could be a simple as a vitamin deficiency. Can’t fault the service I got, and pleased it’s not to serious.

Dear Bert49uk

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback on your recent experience throughout the NHS. I have forwarded your feedback to the A&E team here at NDDH and they were really grateful that you took the time to provide such lovely feedback. As you can appreciate, we are very busy here at the moment and feedback such as yours really does mean a lot to the team.

Your story will be shared with all the staff that were involved in your care at the next A&E department meeting. I am glad to hear that it is nothing serious and you are recovering well.

Best wishes

Lisa
