Hi to all,

    That sounds frustrating @sparklebright63 :( Many people are unfortunately facing longer waiting times to get tests and treatments at the moment, so you're not alone in your frustration!

    I'd agree with biblioklept that you may want to call 999 or visit A&E if you're experiencing chest pains, or any new related symptoms that are worrying you. If you're not sure what to do, you could call the NHS non-emergency number on 111. 

    Have you been finding the course helpful?

    Yes, it's very hot today @Sparklebright63! Make sure you stay hydrated. 

    Definitely mention the symptoms you've been experiencing to them, and seek help earlier than that if needed.
