Hello Ohithurts
In answer to your question yes you can have both. Let's hope you haven't. Your consultant is quite right to make his suggestion. It is always good to get these things checked out thoroughly.
Once you know what is going on and if you want to speak to us or require more information feel free to give us a call.
Best wishes
