what that says basically ^^


First of all I have heart problem history....All night my chest has been sore, my chest and back pains really sore now and I am dizzy and feel sick .. My aunties telling me to go to a&e but I would rather wait for my doctor appointment at 6. :D
 
id say gp first too :)

a&e is more for serious accidents, broken bones or f you think youre dying/very ill.
 
unless you're in immense pain i'd
wait for the doc :flower:
 
Same, I say see your GP first. A&E is only really for things like broken bones or really serious injury
 
plus the fact that youre well enough to post shows youre not unwell enough to bypass the gp.
 
i have a heart problem.. but i know that if i carry on like you are(dizzy etc) i will pass out lol ! so to be honest i usually got to the hospital, because i know thats where my doctor will send me anyways.. but usually i wouldn't be able to sit up let alone type on here when my heart is bad... so yeah gp would be fine i would say :) X
 
Considering how long you will have to wait in A&E, You might aswell just wait to see your doctor.
Hope your ok.

I would see the GP, they will assess whether you need to be treated in the hospital.

id see the gp to unless your collapseing or your heart beat is uncontrolable id stick with the gp as it could be a virus and then theres not much they can do

hope ypur ok x
 
I would go to your GP
Unless the pain in your chest gets worse, you are finding breathing hard etc. Then go to A+E

Thanks everyone I went to the gp and my Hearts inflamed xx
 
glad you went hope you feel better soon x
 
I work in ED, I would say try wait for GP but if you did go ED you wouldnt be turned away or considered a non ED patient, chest pain never is... up to you hun, depending what area you r in it might be quicker to wait for GP. xxx
 
I think I would have to be nearly dying to go to a&e lol but thats just me, I even put off going to the GP until someone nearly forces me!
 
I avoid A&E's for myself but unfortunately they are neccesary for Tegan every now and again.. Although we can't just take her to the local hospital, we have to make a 45 min drive to the Childrens hospital. One of her conditions has a 3 hour time limit (between shunt failure and death) so we don't mess about with GP's :lol:

Glad you went to the Gp though hun! Do you have medication or anything? x
 
Yeah they gave me Diclofenac sodium :) I always get really paranoid with my previous heart surgery and problems before. xx
 
:hugs: Hope you feel a bit better soon hun x x x
