Phone your GP again as it may not be anxiety. Persist in explaining how poorly you feel. I wish you well. Xxxx
Hi pleurisy hits you like a bus in the shoulder area,and lungs feel very painful. Also muscle feeling painful around the ribs can be excruciating, don't leave it for too long. Best wishes for your diagnosis
What a cheek, pain is pain. Call them back and speak to another gp. Do you have a thermometer to take your temperature?
