    First of all stop worrying yourself to death over it. It wont improve matters.

    They the medics have to take their time to figure out exactly what  the problem is and beklieve me this isnt easy. They may send you to the john Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford for further tes ts and bekieve me they are great there. I had to go there and they sorted me out  with Excellent results.   I was diagnosed as having Angina so thirty plus years ago. No real problems and uner medication I was fine for 30 plus years.  Then I had a reaction to the medication and eventually they sent me to Oxford for in depth tests .  The resuk#lts were fantastic.... I now am told thet the original diag nosis was wrong and that I dont in fact have angina.  They did point out that years ago they didnt know as much  as they do today.  So now I dont need anymedication and am living a good life. Apart from being 30 plus years older.  Believe me worrying isnt going to help in fact it will probably make you worse. BUT ask them to explain things in non medcal  language for your benefit so that you know whats going on.  

    Best wishes
