Dr won’t take me seriously

Help, I have lost 5 stone since the summer, I can't swollow foods, I have a constant cough, I be sick blood & am in constant pain. I feel so unwell and constantly tired. But the dr won't go get my tested. I feel like I'm physically dying, I can't describe how drained I am. Can anyone help me? What do I do? I feel failed by the system

    Hi Hannah,

    I'm sorry you are feeling so poorly and feeling ignored by your doctor. It sounds as though you should definitely be taken seriously and they should be listening to your concerns. I would suggest you ask to see another doctor for a second opinion. I'm sure you will be fine but for your peace of mind they need to reassure you and get to the bottom of why you've been feeling so poorly.
