  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    I am sorry to hear that you have some recent symptoms.

    Yes, do mention this to your GP, and/or hospital consultant, so they can assess you fully. It is better to report most new symptoms. Often, they are not connected to each other, and may be due to other causes, but the doctors can use their experience to decide if any tests might help get more clinical information. 

    I hope that you are able to get your concerns addressed soon,

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Yours sincerely,

    Vanda
