Just sitting at my desk this afternoon, working as normal – and all of a sudden my heart starts pounding like mad and my whole chest felt very “odd”. It stopped after just a few seconds, but has left me feeling rather shaken and I was going to phone NHS Direct, but my GP has given me an appointment to see them this evening.

Ironic, as I was planning to make a “routine visit” to the GP in a week or so anyway – but I guess the timetable has shifted upwards a bit.

My recent blood tests for icky stuff (cholesterol etc) all came back as rather heathy, so hopefully it was just an odd aberation. One of the good things about being “chronically ill” is that I get a lot of heath checks now, which include all the things we think would be nice to check, but we rarely actually get round to checking – such as cholesterol levels.

Still shaky though.

Update

The doctor thinks it was just a glitch – and I am to see if it happens again. Bloody scary for a “glitch” though.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.

It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.

Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.

If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.
