So I've had asthma since I was a child get chest infections mostly once a year and a few weeks ago I went to the drs with all the symptoms of chest infection that had been going on for over a month and said it wasn't getting better and was affecting my asthma now. Dr listened to my chest for about 5 seconds said it sounded clear and said it was probably acid reflux casing my cough!? Never had this before so don't know why he just suddenly thought it would be this rather than my history of asthma/chest infections. He prescribed some tablets for acid reflux. I have since been to private docs who listened to my chest much more thoroughly and said I had decreased air intake in one lung and he could hear all the gunk in the bottom of the same lung and prescribed antibiotics and steroids to help with the asthma. AIBU to complain to my doctors surgery about them missing this? I know they get things wrong etc but I just think it's dangerous to miss things like this surely? Or maybe just leaving and finding another practice is easier than complaining 🤷🏻♀️
