Or just take him there myself.

Been waiting 40 minutes. I think 111 suspect heart. Crushing upper stomach pain every few minutes and being sick (he's never sick)

Hospital is 20 minutes away by car.

Thanks for you support everyone, it really helped knowing you guys were out there and being so kind.

ECG was thankfully fine, but they've taken him in to be checked out.

Thanks again

He's 57. Had the pain for about 4 hours but only woke me at 4.30.

We have two autistic teenagers. He's very reluctant to leave them.

Should I call 999 again or is it just wasting their time?

Please never ring 999 asking for an ETA. They are far too busy and you should only ever call back to cancel or should your condition worsen. Calling back for an ETA will only take up one of the valuable call takers.

P.S. Not a dig just some education :)
