Very clear and understanding thank you

Thank you so much
Very rushed, felt a bit dismissed when chatting through her symptoms. She has chest pain, and takes fludrocortisone because of PoTS…..he said ‘Children don’t get heart attacks’. She can’t feel her legs & her feet/hands go numb? He said ‘Probably a bit of Reynaulds’. With no explanation or anything. Strange appointment he is usually thorough.

Sorry to hear that you felt rushed
