24 hours in the a&e waiting room on a chair despite excessive sitting exacerbating my medical conditions. Being rushed out despite my ECG showing ECG sinus taccycardia with non specific T wave inversions V1,V3 non dynamic and my worsening symptoms. My GP says I should be in hospital as it is dangerous for me to be at home because of my symptoms and family history and health condition putting me at further risk. He has prescribed propranolol and is referring me to a cardiologist but still wants me in hospital to find the cause of my symptoms. I felt that staff were rude and made me leave as soon as they had given me their diagnosis of anxiety which is false due to the fact I know my body and my symptoms are continuing to worsen.
After being passed between however many doctors who hadn't read my notes property, it was the practitioner at the end who gave me their "diagnosis" and just wouldn't accept the possibility of it being something else. I was left despite my mobility problems to make my way outside in the cold and they didn't care how I was getting home. I heard staff saying that they just didn't know what to do with the patients who were waiting and why wouldn't they go home. Staff were rushing and were trying to see who they could send home-something I kept overhearing that they would send home everyone possible due to covid. I feel that it's putting patient safety at risk. I still keep feeling like I am going to die along with all my other symptoms which all point to something heart related. I have a fear I will die at home Infront of my 3 children because of the sudden rush to get everyone out. I was told that I was going to be admitted to meau but it never happened. My GP was informed that I had been admitted and then was disgusted that I wasn't. In my opinion he truly believes my life is at risk and that something severe will happen to me sooner than later.
