Hi Richard
Thank you for letting us know about the gas work and the delayed appointment to see the doctor next week, do keep at it.
This morning I had a private appointment to see the cardiologist. He was telling me how the new heart tablet I am on for heart and lung failure is also good for oedema, kidney disease dementia and preventing sudden death.
He listened to my heart, lungs and did a physical check up. He prescribed a new medication to treat another condition called Hiatus Hernia. The new tablet has to be taken 30 minutes before a meal once a day and it works by cutting out the acid and it hurries up the emptying of the stomach preventing oesophageal reflux.
Today’s appointment was charged at £25, so I think I had my money’s worth. I am seeing him again in 7 days for more follow up and monitoring.
Seeing the specialist and having him explain things, helps me understand my illness. He wants me to change my lifestyle. For example after my evening meal
I am to stay sitting up for 3 hours and no going to bed after supper.
All in all, I felt reassured and less stressed from having been seen.
Hopefully Richard when you see your doctor he will help you understand what’s going on and keep you involved in the plans for your care and treatment.
Remember to tell him everything, leaving nothing out.
Take care …..
