Hi all!
Monday night, as I was trying to get to sleep, I had a massive stabbing pain in left side of my chest.
I felt a little light headed through yesterday and generally unwell, and although no repeat of the pain during the night, I felt heaviness in left side of chest all day.
GP, 111 and Consultant suggested 999, but I didnt want to waste their time.
Today I feel pretty okay, except for slight anxiety. Im wondering if this is connected to my lymphoma or my low calcium and if anyone else has experience of this?
Should i cancel my day and go to A&E? Or wait and see?
Hi Justin, sorry to hear the issues you are facing but you do exactly what the medical team say and if it’s a visit to A&E then you must go.
Thanks mate. Its just such a hassle and hours of waiting, and as I feel okay today, I'm not sure of the benefit of going.
I have had a good number of infections etc that ended up with hospital admissions so we always call 111 and follow their guidance - if you have many recurrence then you do need to follow it up.
Stay safe not sorry.
Mike
You appear to be the main spokesman here Highlander - I never see any other people commenting.
Oh there are others but the new site update has developed some log in issues but I am sure that folks will be back.
Yes I hang around to help folks out as I remember back to my ‘hard’ years and appreciated all the help I received from folks around me so this is some payback
