To think this should have been mentioned at A&E?

My GP sent me to A&E on Friday as they thought I might have blood clots. I had all the tests for clots and an ECG done. The doctor at A&E said everything was normal and I could go home. I made a new GP appointment today. The GP is now telling me that they have a letter from A&E stating I had an angina, which I find hard to believe as I don't have a lot of trust in this particular GP (he speaks over me and won't give his name, he starts his calls with "this is the doctor". I have felt like responding with "oh, I didn't know Doctor Who passed their medical exam.") I'm currently waiting for a different GP from the practice to speak to me.
AIBU to think that, if it's the case that I'd had an angina, the doctor at A&E should have informed me?

For what it’s worth, your throat/breathing thing sounds like GERD to me, at least that’s what it was when I had it and I felt exactly as you described. It is largely related to stress for me, although medication to treat the GERD did help & I got more stressed about the choking feeling so that helped relieve the stress!

OP it's a long shot but l'angine in french means a sore throat - it wasn't a doctor speaking English as a second language who incorrectly coded it without thinking was it? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Happyhappyday I have been provisionally diagnosed with GERD by a respiratory consultant. I'm on medication for it while other investigations are ongoing for any other causes of the reason for my referral to them (chronic cough after meals, though very rarely have reflux).
@Mileu I had no "chest pain that resolved quickly." When I made the GP appointment on Friday, the sensation of tightness (which is the best I can describe it) in my throat wasn't even present. None of the other factors you mention apply either.

Well it's no skin off our nose whether you have angina or not quite frankly, there's no need to be rude. A poster above has pointed out that angina can cause your symptoms.
If you would prefer to believe you do not have angina then go right ahead, I was only urging you to err on the side of caution for the sake of your health

A&E staff wouldn't forcibly discuss this with you because doing so would understandably raise some questions from you, wanting information and reassurance. A&Es are currently under massive pressure and they can't take the time to provide care for non urgent matters that are unrelated to the visit o A&E. It is indeed standard practice to pass the info to the GP and request that they discuss it with you themselves.

@atracurious To best of my knowledge, the doctor I spoke with in A&E is British.
@vivainsomnia Had A&E told me last Friday, it would have been reassurance enough that they felt it wasn't serious enough to warrant keeping me in. Had it not been for a recurrence of my hip problem during the week, it could have been weeks before I contacted my GP practice. That's a heck of a risk for A&E to take by telling me that my bloods and ECG were clear and there was nothing wrong with me. I already know that a GP from the practice wouldn't have contacted me before I got round to making an appointment with them.
