JACKIE MARTIN (28/02/1962)

APPOINTMENT AT LIVERPOOL HART AND  CHEST HOSPITAL 12/1/2021

Basic tests undertaken at the beginning of the appointment: ECG, EEG, height, weight and blood pressure.

Consultation with Consultant Dr. Vas. Another doctor observing.

Dr Vas said all tests were normal apart from blood pressure which was a little high (160),  Taken a second time and normal (130).

Dr Vas had no concerns with Jackie’s heart. He said the left side may stiffen in due time but felt this was normal.

I queried Jackie’s puffy ankles. Dr Vas checked them and felt this may be  as a result of her cellulitis. He was of the opinion that the swelling had nothing to do with Jackie’s heart.

Dr Vas checked Jackie’s medication from the MAR sheet provided by Langdale and queried why Jackie was no longer on aspirin. He will write to Jackie’s GP about restarting it.

Future appointment in 18 months/2 years but emphasised to ring the hospitalor speak to GPif any concerns at any time.
