No answers still!

I went to my doctors 5 months ago with swollen lymph nodes and a sore throat and hoarseness They prescribed me tablets for tonsilitis which didnt work. After a month of having the sore throat i developed a cough and chest pains which have got worse over the last four months to the point where i am having trouble breathing.  My NHS doctor didnt seem concerned so i went private who referred me for blood tests. The blood tests came back normal. Over the last month the chest pain has spread to my arms and back and is constant to the point where it is affecting every day life. I still have no idea what the problem is and with my gp not seeming bothered, I have had to pay for another private appointment which is next week. Concerned it may be somethint serious.

    Welcome to the forum and I'm sorry to hear about the health problems you've been experiencing over the past few months. It's understandable that you may be feeling concerned although hopefully the recent tests which returned as normal did give you some reassurance. 

    I hope that the upcoming Dr appointment you have arranged sheds some light on what is going on for you at the moment but if not it may be worth arranging to see another GP at your practice and asking for a referral. 

    I do hope that things improve soon. 

    Best wishes,
