Poor communication during emergency call

My recent experience with West Midlands Ambulance Service was poor. I called an ambulance experiencing heart palpitations and after talking to the operator was told that an ambulance was being sent to me. After 30 minutes the ambulance had not arrived and I called back. I was told this time that no ambulance was being sent and that I needed to make my own way to A&E. No one had called me back to tell me that an ambulance would not be coming. I am very disappointed with the service I received.
