Hi,
I just thought I would post a question here. Does anyone on here feel let down by their GP? I have suffered from HA for about 5 months now, and I have now accepted the symptoms I have been having are anxiety related and am starting to feel better, this has come with the help of counselling which I booked myself in for.
But looking back over the period I feel my GP definatkey could have done more to help, for example I had to ask for a blood test, he has'nt asked me any questions about how I have been feeling at all and just shrugging off my visits as nothing to worry about. He only offered me anti - deps a couple of weeks ago, and I said I didnt want them as I was feeling better.
I realise I didnt make it easy in that I only told him about the physical symptoms rather htn how I was feeling as well. And I was doing all the other things which are'nt helpful like googling and 'dcotor shoping' between him and another GP at the same practice. But should he not have asked? And surely he must have thought something was up with the number of visits I was making to him?
I guess I'm worried (Anxious!) now that all this worry over the last 6 months has given me what I most fear, because I feel its gone untreated. Any advice/ thoughts/ similar experiences??!!
