4th Cardiologist

This will be my fourth cardiologist. My main symptoms are vision problems and a pounding sensation in my head that seems to occur in time with my heartbeat whenever I stand up.

So far, I've had echocardiograms, stress tests, a cardiac CT scan, a tilt table test, and a 24-hour heart monitor. Despite all of these previous investigations, this cardiologist has only ordered another tilt table test and a 24-hour blood pressure monitor.

I'm now waiting again for the appointment dates for those two tests.

All previous tests I've had nothing diagnosed.

12 months + sciatica

So I started around 12 months ago with sciatica again had it before but never for this long just short flairs

Around 3 weeks ago it got worse I struggled and laid on bed to get my socks on for work

Went to GP and was put on amitriptyline 10mg

After a couple of weeks it's back to how it was not as painful but there constantly like I've been kicked in the ass by a donkey and pain down back of right leg

Went back to GP the other day and just suggested physiotherapy (I've already seen one and just given exercises that didn't help)

Im in the UK so nhs

Should I not have had a scan by now ?
