Change your doctor. Seriously if hey are not taking note of what you say and your history. CHANGE. 2 years ago I was having breathing problems. My GP insisted time and again that it was muscular because I have severe spinal problem. One weekend it got so bad i rang 111 and was sent to see a young emergency GP. He immensely asked for my family history. 12 of my grandfather's brothers all died before 50 of what was then called dropsy ( Heart failure). My dad had angina and mum had heart failure and 3 heart attacks. This young doctor immediately insisted I was sent to the rapid access chest pain clinic for a stress test. I had a heart attack before I got the appointment. Two stents for 100% blockages and two further milder blockages found. Ask around and get recommendations for a GP who actually listens to their patients.
