A woman who was told by her GP to consume less alcohol and coffee to ease her anxiety actually had cancer. Anglee Kumar went to A&E after she started to feel constantly lethargic and began to get heart palpitations in addition to a tightness in her chest but was initially diagnosed with inflammation in her chest.
The 26-year-old, who had always had a healthy lifestyle, visited her GP when things didn’t get better. However, the aspiring lawyer, who had just secured a job with one of London’s top law firms, was told that she could be suffering with anxiety due to her long working hours and was advised to cut back on alcohol and coffee.
When that didn’t improve her symptoms, her GP suggested it could be coeliac disease. When Anglee sought a second opinion at a private clinic, she was told there was nothing seriously wrong with her, according to Mirror Online.
