From that they have now put me on 4 tablets and heading for a Angiogram.
What if all this is wrong and its something else ?
'Have you pains in the chest ? No. Are you sure ? Yes.
'Of course you have diabetes ? No
'Have you swollen ankles ? No.

I said I didn't have any health issues.
But after an office BP, I didn't meet World Health Organisation standard for blood pressure.
I was prescribed Ramipril.
I got very short of breath and collapsed whilst exercising with dog.
Patient Information Leaflet said don't do exertive exercise.
Clinic nurse couldn't understand my worsening BP of 180/80.
Eventually had severe allergic type reaction.
GP didn't believe it was caused by his prescription.
I stopped taking it and I returned to normal.
I complained face to face to the surgery manager.
She asserted that my alleged reaction could not have happened on the basis that it was so improbable.
This led to me being forced to voluntarily accept further medication.
I thought this time I needed my own measurable proof of a reaction.
I used a recording (24hr) pulse oximeter to measure my blood oxygen saturation - and there was the proof:
an overnight recording showed reduced and unstable %SpO2.
I was right - it was the drugs.
Attached is what I showed my GP.
What followed is another story.
