Ok so I know that no one can really give me an answer but I just wanted to know if anyone had been in a similar position.
My dad who is 60 and overweight has been experiencing some arm and shoulder pain (aching) for the past couple of months. After a month he went to the GP who gave him amitriptyline to help with the pain. That didn’t work and he felt the pain was spreading to his chest as a tightening sensation so he went back. They asked him to have a blood test and x-ray but in the meantime gave him angina spray. He had the blood test the following day and the x-ray the day after (this morning). The GP has just rung the house asking him to make two follow up appointments. How worried should we be?
