    Past personal experience of meetings with medics is EXACTLY what I have had and I have told you candidly what I experienced. Sadly your problem seems
    to be a classic one of not wanting advice but someone to agree with you. I am sorry you feel that my actual first hand experience is not helpful. All I can say is that it was freely given and with the honest wish that it would help you.i have met many people in your sort of situation and have been able to, in a small way, help them. Please remember that the people giving answers on this forum do it voluntarily and with all goodwill not to put people down. Unfortunately the advice given may be hard to accept but that is life.

    And now the OP has resigned, after all the 'advice' they asked for.

    As we often say, some people want agreement rather than advice based on personal experience.

    So it was heart related. And surely an ecg test would have detected this problem unless it only happened in the last 12 hours of her life. Which I highly doubt.

    No? Don't agree?

    From the NHS website

    An ECG can help detect:

    arrhythmias – where the heart beats too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly

    coronary heart disease – where the heart's blood supply is blocked or interrupted by a build-up of fatty substances

    heart attacks – where the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly blocked

    cardiomyopathy – where the heart walls become thickened or enlarged


    No mention of aortic or mitral valve disease

    Oh and mitral value disease is not that easy to spot when in mild form. I know someone who it took 3 admissions to A & E until finally a Dr worked it.



    No point commenting any further as the OP has deleted their account.


    Obviously did not get the answers they wanted.
