Hello all,
6 years ago I moved across the country taking my business and family with me and contracted pleurisy through all of the stress. It went eventually but left a bit of scarring.
We moved into rented and then bought our own house. I remember the day all of this began as I was unpacking my daughters moving boxes into her room and felt like I was made out of lead, really heavy and 'walking uphill' tired. I put it down to heavy periods and started on iron tablets from the chemists.
I have had symptoms of hypotension (postural) since that day and it's making my life a living nightmare. Sweating, blurred vision, extreme tiredness and so on.
The thing is I have also suffer with anxiety and that is what makes me avoid the GP's surgery and to just get on and live with what I have. I just think that my doctor will look at me and think that it's 'all in my head'. How do I seriously go and see him next week and say "by the way, I think that I have ........., could you please let me see a specialist?"
There are so many illnesses out there that mimick each other. How many times can I go and ask for another to be looked into. Doctors are just not interested.
