Hopefully you are just having a lie in at home after a very late night being assessed.

Bless you Starblaze.
Your not wasting their time and it`s best to be safe than sorry.
Let us all know how you are asap please.

A couple of years ago I had to call an ambulance - when they arrived I kept apologising saying I hoped I wasn't wasting their time. I will never forget the words of the paramedic "I will tell you the same thing I tell all those I see, when in doubt - give us a shout" I am sure we all hope Starblaze is soon able to report that all is well.

It’s so difficult to know what to do isn’t it.
Hope you are OK.

Better to be safe than sorry. Let the experts deal with it. If it's just indigestion, then that's a bonus. Take care.

Did you ring 111 firsr?

Thinking of you, hope the ambulance has arrived and you are on your way to hospital to be treated, do keep us posted once you've rested and have the energy to do so ..

Best to be cautious. They are the professionals and if they deem it necessary to send an ambulance, judging by your symptoms, then that’s ok. Just relax while you wait. Hopefully it will indeed turn out to be nothing.

Bugger. blaze not gaze. Silly moo.

Urmstongran Mon 16-Dec-19 22:57:55

Oh bless you. Try not to worry. Remember to take any meds you are on. Your mobile. Some money. Your keys. A book or magazine in your bag?

Practical thoughts might help distract you.

I hope all is well Stargaze x

Do you have something like an exercise bike? You could a bit of fast spinning and find out one way or the other. hmm

If you are having a heart attack I am gonna feel really bad posting this.

I've probably only pulled something or maybe it's just terrible indigestion. I got a bit tipsy earlier and ate too much. They said they have to send an ambulance for any chest pain. I feel awful wasting their time as they said it will be a while and there must be people who need it more. Don't know what to do with myself while I wait.
