6 days ago mw wife (42, non smoker, occaisiomal glass of red wine, 9 stone, toned, not on any medication) and I were travelling in our car. She complained of dizziness, sickness and shortage of breath. We stopped for some nourishemnt but that did bot help. After two hours of increased symptoms and continually trying to stop her self fainting (she is prone to blackouts) she had tingling in her legs, arms and LHS of face. She was admitted to hospital. Blood tests, x ray and ECG were negative but she was kept in due to possibility of mini stroke. She was released the following day.
She continued to feel ill with shortness of breath, dizziness and sickness. Two days later with symptoms onging the shortness of breath increased and pressure (not pain) built up on her chest as if someone was sitting on her. She was admitted to hospital. She was given Nitrolingual spray and an asprin based compound which had little to no effect.
Blood tests (and echo scan, ECG and xray) revealed she had not had a heart attack.
She was realeased yesterday. Consultants stated her heart was perfectly normal - nothing to worry about.
However, on her file we noticed Trivial TR was written. Follow up care will consist of Tilt table and an Event Recorder.
I understand that Trivial TR is often underestimated & not taken seriously. Diagnosis by numerous consulstants ranged from "strange heart behaviour" to "you dont look ill - probably humidity".
She is at home still suffering with chest pressure, faintness, shortness of breath and dizzy sickness. What should we do?
