Booking blood test

Might be silly question but my doctor has booked me for chest x Ray due to heart concerns but I’d like to also have a blood test, I forgot to mention in appointment, I’d like this done.
How could I book it could I phone reception and ask to book a blood test or would I need another doctors appointment (which I’d rather not just to say I want blood test).
If I can request from reception would I need to tell them what type? I’d want it to check for heart problems or possible disease etc

Surely if your doctor thought that a blood test would be useful at this stage in your diagnosis, they'd have requested one themselves?

Doesn’t feel like he was taking my symptoms too seriously, I feel it needs to be done as the problems I’m having are severe and effecting my everyday life.

It seems to me that a blood test is a simple / cheap procedure compared to the chest X-ray. The fact that they opted for the chest X-ray rather than the blood test suggests that your condition is being treated seriously to me.

As @black tea says, you'll need to see your doctor again if you want to arrange further tests.

A receptionist can't organise blood tests, you will need to speak to a doctor

They won't book you in for a blood test without a GP saying you need one.

Would blood test show signs of angina or heart attack, heart disease, or disease in general?
I feel worried that chest X ray or ECG might not pick up on it

I'm no medical expert, but angina and a heart attack (though you should know about it if you're having one) are about the blood supply localised at the heart so I'd guess a blood test would not notice this whereas an X-ray would allow doctors to see the affected area.

Bottom line is that your doctor knows how this all works and is doing what they think is most likely to help.
If there is no satisfactory conlusion from the X-ray then you could ask the doctor whether a blood test would help.

thanks for the reply, I actually hope they do find something as I can’t go on living this way, everyday I’m having heavy tight uncomfortable chest and strong backache that feels like it’s inside my back, feel weak and drained, lightheaded and cannot function, I feel unwell, I know something is wrong with my body.

You'll need to request your GP to book routine bloods - just for your information, if he's booked an XR (this is considered a more serious, invasive investigation), he'll be likely to agree and approve a full blood screen.

Hi thanks for reply, I am feeling really unwell, considering going to A&E, if I do ask for bloods test from GP I’m thinking I could message on the NHS app, would I need to ask for a certain type of blood test? Or just say to check my heart or for any type of disease?
I feel I could have heart disease or something. I know I’m feeling terrible and chest feel full,blocked and tight. I feel extremely weak and fatigued

I wouldn't be able to answer that question without taking a comprehensive history, but on initial impression think you're more likely to be experiencing a chest/lung infection as opposed to heart disease. By default, most doctors will book the following bloods: FBC(sees blood markers for infection, checks if you're anaemic) and Urea and electrolytes(checks kidney function and electrolytes in blood). He may also checking clotting function and liver function.

Specific heart markers are mainly only carried out in A+E if someone has sudden, severe heart pain (we're thinking heart attack which is very unlikely in your case). If you're adamant it's a heart problem, maybe try asking for an ECG since that's simple and can be sensitive for heart problems (especially in young people).

There is no blood test that will check for heart disease or "any type of disease"...
