If you feel really poorly mogsy then get your hubby to call for an ambulance. You can wait 5 days if you wish but you know how you are feeling. Take care xxxxx

Hi I agree with O2. Not being able to breathe is a medical emergency so don't be afraid to call an ambulance. Oh and change your doctor! x

Mogsy, please don't struggle on yourself. If your husband feels you need to see a doctor then you must do.

I'm certainly not impressed by your GP's attitude. Any chance you could change doctors to a more empathetic one?

Call 08454 24 24 24 for NHS 24 if you're in Scotland or 111 for NHS U.K.

Hope you get the help you need. Let us know how you get on. 🌻

This is bad your GP should of seen you do you have a walk in near you or A&E I know our A&E people just turned up because they couldn't get in to see the GP and who ever was doing triage would ring the GP and get them a appointment

What an ignorant Docter Mogsy, I would never go near him again. No wonder the NHS is on it's knees with Docter's like him, not doing their flaming jobs.

Get your hubby to ring back up and tell them he is not putting up with you being treat like that. xx

Hi Mogsy, If you really feel unwell then go to your nearest A&E. Last Easter I felt unwell and saw a Nurse Practitioner who told me there was nothing wrong. He said I had no temperature and had no sign of infection. (I never show a temperature and tried to tell him this but he wouldn't listen.) Two days later I felt so poorly my husband took me to our nearest A&E. I was kept in where I was diagnosed with sepsis and, after a CT scan, pneumonia! As I did not have a temperature it was the CT scan which showed I had pneumonia as well as a very high heart rate of 177 as I was coughing so much. We are all different and doctors cannot always diagnose our illnesses so - if in doubt - A&E is the answer.
