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.
