thank you!
ive had another 111 doctor chat, but basically they said you've got normal symptoms, not at a level to worry about
heart may have felt like a race horse but it was at a safe BPM. Could beg for an ECG but not worth it.
im happy enough at the moment, though each new symptom comes as a bit of a shock,
it took a while for my heart to stop going odd
It doesn't do it now
It is so odd to get new symptoms which are hard to pinpoint - like the pins and needles thing
I felt so odd because many people didn't believe me and I doubted myself but I also wasn't well for quite a while with these odd things
It made a massive difference for some people to believe me
It might be worth telling your GP - not to get treatment now but in case things flare up or go on and on.
Quite a few times I said 'oh I;m 95% better' and then I'd go through a period of feeling quite unwell and fatigued
I sort of really do think I'm mostly better now
with my GP I used to ring them every 3 or 4 weeks just to update them
they didn't believe me and said it was anxiety so I changed doctors because I needed them to believe me to get adjustments at work through HR
I didn't even have to lay it on thick for my new doctor and within 3 minutes she'd referred me to the new long covid clinic
The clinic itself was not as great as I might have wanted as they didn't accept a lot of the symptoms but they referred me on for a lung test which I'm going for tomorrow
I haven't really got a lung issue any more and I feel it's a bit of a waste of NHS resources but I'm going anyway because at the time of referral I was feeling very unwell again with pain and fatigue and I thought I'd accept what they offered as a route to other clinics like the fatigue clinic
I don't feel I need any of it anymore but we'll see...
TLDR
I'm sorry you've got odd symptoms
I believe you
It does get better
