I called the doctors to see if I could get in today, but they are shut on Saturday, so it said to ring NHS Direct. I went on their website,and typed in my symptoms, and it said I need to call 999!

Back again. The good news is that it's not a heart attack, they can tell by blood tests if it has been. Her ECG was clear as well, but they are keeping her in another night as the Registrar belives it is lung related, possibly to do with her asthma and a chest infection she had a couple of weeks ago. Of course Saltire has got herself worked up into a right state about it, but she is better off where she is just now.
Will pass on the good wishes from you all

Tell her she must calm down or the whole of MN will come and visit.

Glad to hear she hasn't had a heart attack and is in the best place for a rest.
