Doctors won’t take me seriously!!!
I posted the other day about being worried I wasted ambulance time because I was having bad chest pain and shortness of breath and was diagnosed pleuritic chest pain. It has since worsened and today I contacted the out of hour doctor, 1.5 hour wait on the phone then a doctor called me and said word for word “you can talk in sentences I’m not worried about you” okay great. I explained further my chest was getting increasingly more sore and I was finding it difficult to breathe in. So reluctantly agreed to see me, stats normal; chest sounded clear. Pleuritic chest pain. I keep explaining that it’s hurting and getting worse it can’t just be pleuritic pain. It’s something more I can feel it but no one will take me seriously enough to properly assess me and it’s making me worried in case I properly cannot breathe or something bad happens.
*no x-Ray, no blood work done. They listened to my chest and checked my BP and pulse. Also I know that they have told me it’s pleuritic chest pain but I know that should not get more severe nor should you begin to struggle to breathe because of it.
