@chebo1954 hi I am from Scotland I can't just ask for different doctors, and waiting lists are very long, my own doctor said yesterday to make appointment with her to go over it all ,as only had 10 minutes appointment and that was for pneumonia.

@komara I started thinking you were in the UK when you said you had lost 2 stones of weight, I understand the health system runs differently there and you have to wait long to be seen and referred but I imagine there are ways and exceptions to be seen urgently by a cardiologist and/or surgeon, they are not just going to let you go through this completely untreated and make you wait. Are there any advocacy services that can help you?

@komara I’m so sorry to hear that I guess I should be more grateful for as quickly they do get me in and see me
