URGENT help please!!

Hi all
I need some urgent help/advice please. Further to ending up in A&E on Friday....today I'm feeling really dizzy everytime I try & walk or climb the stairs. I feel really spaced out too.

They said on Friday my rate response is too aggressive but they left it as otherwise I can't walk or climb stairs.....but now I can't do that today either as I feel so dizzy.

What can I do on a Sunday in the UK? Do I go back to A&E?
I don't know if PM techs are around at weekends. I feel quite unwell.

Would a too agressive rate response cause this?

thanks
Janey

I am in the UK sadly the NHS thinks it can go into sleep mode at the weekend and its best to present yourself on a weekday, monday first thing would be a good time to get admitted.( Dont take no for an answer) In the mean time dont climb any stairs , no point in tempting fate.pete

Call Doctor Now

I'm not too familiar of the workings of the UK health system, but you should definitely seek help today if you are feeling that bad. Can you call an ambulance and head to the emergency room? You don't sound like you are in any condition to get yourself to the hospital. You shouldn't feel dizzy or unable to walk. Maybe you are getting afib? Does the doctor have an answering service to put you in touch with the doctor?

Don't know what time you will read this given our time differences but I hope since you are feeling that bad you should be on the way to your emergency services or have gone already. SueUK is right at least there they can monitor you. Get off of here and get going.......(-: Good luck.......Sue

Get your hubby to take you to A&E now,better to be safe than sorry,even if they just monitor you until PM tech is available. Alternatively call NHS Direct for advice (l think they are still in business) or phone your GP and get the emergency doc's advice Please !!!
(Sorry you didn't get my earlier message l must have done something wrong,will be in touch soon)
Let me know how you get on,hopefully you just need an adjustment to your settings, all the best,
