[Shingles824]

I've been unwell for nearly a year and am getting very impatient with my Dr.

I have been breathless for 10 months and very fatigued. I got very weak and was vomiting. I had blood tests which showed an infection but little else.

Did peak flow tests which were good. Had an ultrasound for gallstones,no sign of any or anything else wrong. Had an X ray that showed chest infection. Had 5 day course of antibiotics and don't feel so rough but still have cough and breathlessness.

Have now got "shingles", severe nerve pain in shoulder and armpit. Dr doesn't think it's shingles but can't explain symptoms. Have got a lump under the armpit. Dr is booking me in at Breast clinic...

Would you see another Dr, go private (I have no insurance but have some savings) or carry on with what the Dr is doing?

So sorry to read this, I didn’t get the chance to reply that the breathlessness was very concerning and to be pushy I had missed that in your op.

Pneumonia causes a shadow on the lungs too OP, it's great that you're getting checked though.

Thanks. I'm just relieved that something is being done.
