Still that hasn't happened yet and as I have no symptoms and feel perfectly healthy I'm going to ignore the medics and just get on with life. Thanks all. Love Jonno
But don't ignore the medics as they have your best interests at heart.

Re: Worry
Hi Jonno - if it helps - I went to the doc a few years back with chest pain - he quite rightly referred me to a cardiologist - this necessitated two days in hospital with an ecg and angiogram which is an operational procedure - diagnoses - acute indigestion!a satisfactory ECG should be enough and is non-invasive - an angiogram is invasive and will only confirm what the ecg said

A cardiologist wouldn't suggest an angiogram 'for no reason'
the cardiology team is doing it's job and covering its bases in the patients best interests

Re: Worry
Hi all. Your advice and comments have eased my worries. I've decided to see a GP and chew it over with him. At present I don't see the need for further tests as I feel perfectly healthy. But I will take my GPs advice as I know him and he plays a pretty mean guitar , mainly blues but hey no ones perfect
Will keep you updated. Love Jonno
