Handhold needed please

[bananafish]

Went to A&E with chest pains. Have had to wait hours but really appreciate all that has been done. Final test was an X-ray and then I thought I could go home. suddenly everything’s changed. Have offered my son (who I had to bring with me) food and juice. My DR is nowhere to be seen. I’m honestly terrified here - what’s happening? Help

You're being very brave here op, handhold from me here too 👍

Do you have something to write on, it might be helpful to take notes when the doctor comes back. Its amazing how much you forget when you are stressed. You can also ask the doctor to write down anything you cant spell.

Handholding here too

Great that they are being thorough
Still scary though. Wishing you all the best

Possibly a PE ( pulmonary embolus)? Would explain the breathlessness and need for CT...hope you get answers soon - if it is PE it is eminently treatable

Shift change I think. My dr came to say she was going home. Hoping this means they’re dealing with more urgent cases first? That’s one take eh?

Am feeling a bit better - the pain is still there but not as pressing/ sharp.

Really want to take my little boy home though...

Hopefully you get an answer soon.

Is there noone who can come and collect your DS / sit with you both?

Hope you and your boy get home soon x

Sending you a hug. I really hope everything’s ok, and someone can collect your brave boy if you don’t get to go home

Hope you're okay on on your way home soon.

Hope all is ok

Just checking in to see how you are doing, hope all is ok.

Handhold op

Hope you are ok. Hand hold from me.

Handhold from me too Op. Hope everything is ok.

Oh I hope you’re ok too.

Have they not told you what they’re looking for?

I’ve had this before, suspect blood clot on the lung but it ended up just being a chest infection. Fingers crossed it ends up being something as minor as that

Good luck op

Good luck op, sorry the NHS are being so slow and not communicating with you. Hope you and your son are ok

was the ecg ok?

Thank you for all your messages😊 I ended up being admitted as despite lots of fluids (ouch those canulas hurt) my heart rate just wouldn’t come down to normal levels.

E was very brave but it all got to much for him at 4 am being asked to sleep in a hospital bed on a ward after 21 hours of A&E, but he rallied and slept in the end.

I’ve now had first round of obs - am really hoping I might get to leave under charge of GP. ecg was normal and ct scan showed up a couple of things but they said they would write?

Thank you all for being so supportive - it really helped last night.

Well I'm glad you are being looked after, at least the doctors are trying to get to the bottom of it.

A handhold from me lass.
