"A&E chest pain & spasms"

About: Southend Hospital / Accident and emergency

Thank you so, so much for the care I received on Friday 3rd Feb! Everything happened so fast after I started process calling 111 with unusual chest pain & spasms. So fast & I and my partner & my son felt every query and fear was answered almost straight away. I also would like to say that, unlike times in the distant past (the '60s- 90s) I was not made to feel like a weird contortionist circus freak! I have global joint hypermobility syndrome, still undergoing diagnosis to see if it's the Ehlers-Danlos Type 3 (EDS-HT) kind.

Everyone was lovely. Still more tests needed to find out more but the doctors on duty have pointed me in the right direction I think. (Also thank you for recognising that my partner is a lovely high-functioning Aspie and not making him stress out any more than he already was.)
