Heart aflutter again.
I just spent the day in hospital with a heart flutter. I am on beta blockers, as it happened about March last year too. Not sure if it is my age or a follow on from the 2016 chemo but it is annoying t...

I've had it twice in 3 weeks but I didn't need a tube. I think I may have cracked a tooth though and hoping it settles down as the anxiety with a dentist is one of the times I did end up with Afib the next day. This time its been just after a visit with my GP who dismissed everything I asked at the appointment. I badly need a psychologist who can see me now, not in May or later. The psychiatrist I used to see has left town. I have PTSD, anxiety, depression and agoraphobia.
My Atenolol obviously isn't working for the heart or my anxiety although my GP says its ok at the time he checks my BP. Maybe because I have naturally low BP he doesn't believe I could have a heart attack? I had heart pains that day but he still sent me home. This after the internal hell I went through just to leave my house and get in to town to see him.
I am seeing a different GP this Saturday, one I have seen before. His accent is hard to understand but I believe he may be a better doctor.
The latest is I been getting squamous cell carcinomas cut out. My GP did biopsies (one of them finally after a year of complaining) and then with positive results sent me to the hospital theatre for surgery on 30th Jan. The Dr there couldn't understand why my own GP didn't do the surgery himself and told me I was a tax on the public system as a result so that upset me as well. Both scars are infected underneath and from time to time erupt pus from them but my GP on Monday dismissed that as well and said its a tension area and will take time to heal. No antibiotics. The ER doc said yes you need antibiotics but forgot to give me any so maybe on Saturday the new doc will finally give me some so I can move on from this skin cancer saga.
