Over the last 2 years I've had some worrying cardiac symptoms which have quite severely impacted my everyday life. Had a few investigations via gp which while not entirely normal weren't deemed clinically significant. Eventually gp referred me to a cardiologist who I saw last year. It was a very short consultation, she brushed off my concerns but agreed to send me for another investigation 'for reassurance' which I had done in last july. A couple of weeks later I received a very perfunctory letter from her stating that the test was normal and she didn't really know what was causing my symptoms. I've now been discharged and still no further on.
I'm 54, a very experienced HCP and previously very fit and active, can't do the things I love doing - running, cycling so becoming increasingly depressed and even thinking of taking early retirement. I don't want to make a fuss but feel like I've been dismissed as a hysterical peri menopausal woman. I want a second opinion but not sure how to do it...any advice ? I was thinking of contacting PALS to start the ball rolling.
