Yes, it's a late time. I've had it done so I did have the right time!.enthusiasticsaver said:8.20pm for a blood test sounds strange but our GP practice now does blood tests in a hotel over longer time period so maybe this is more common now to have evening appointments.

I can't help worrying about my stomach issues. I'm struggling with it and fear that it's something sinister.
I keep getting heartburn, and I feel like there's a blockage, burping excessively but never feeling like it has cleared. I'm tired, too. I've lost weight due to fear of eating in case it triggers the pain it comes with trapped wind. It has come on so suddenly. I've researched what it could be and I know it's likely to be one of three things that can be fixed with surgery or medication, but my brain is in overdrive with the thing most People dread. It begins with C, and I'm petrified it's that.
I'm sleeping on propped up pillows to keep it at bay.
I have an appointment on the 11th to get the results of the tests. I'm.juts hoping they show it's an easy fix xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

It could be something as simple as a hiatus hernia, so do try not to worry too much, especially as that stress makes it worse.

Yep, that's one of the things. I know it's just my mind, I wish I could switch off worrying. Xbadmemory said:It could be something as simple as a hiatus hernia, so do try not to worry too much, especially as that stress makes it worse.
