Thanks so much Kathy, Reluctant and DJ, good (ish) to know I'm not alone with this.

Yes, I've had my BP checked twice this weekend, about 140/70 this morn, lower on Friday. O2 sats 100% this morn, ECGs good. All reassuring, but it still felt like someone was twisting a knife in my chest

Every now and then I feel a twinge of something in my chest, but it goes. My arm hurts a fair bit these days, I feel like my left side is just wrecked by this. These muscle cramps and pains are a whole new thing in my torso. Yet ironically I've recently (bedore this charade) been able to do more and been happier because my leg felt a bit more stable... It's a cruel, cruel condition.

I don't know what to do. I'm going to try to see my GP before we go away, but I doubt he can do anything. Suppose if it happens again I'm just going to have to keep breathing and hope to goodness it passes quickly... I'm beginning to wish we'd booked a week down the road in a hotel on the mainland!

Hope you all feel ok today, sorry you are dealing with so much. I appreciate you taking the time to respond, means a lot

Bram
