“Over the past couple of months I’ve not been feeling quite right. I have had this odd feeling just here at the top of my stomach and the bottom of my chest. (picture of open hand on chest/abdomen). It’s not there all the time. It comes and goes.”
“My wife says it’s probably down to my poor diet and working too many hours but it’s a struggle to make ends meet and I want to give my family a well-earned holiday in the sun.”
“It’s probably nothing and I feel a fraud bothering my doctor but “the wife” (picture in corner) has been nagging me to go to the GP and get a check up so, to make her happy, I will make the appointment.”
