feel bad all the time.
I am tired of feeling bad. I have bad headaches lately I have hard cramps in my chest some but mostly in my stomach and right below my navel. the cramps get quite intense. leaves me sore for a couple of days. gine for a few days and then the same thing. no one thinks anything is wrong. the doctor did blood test said everything was fine. I was having weak spells and cold sweats so back my hair got wet and dripped on to the floor. I quit taking my Lipitor. some of those problems have gone away. I feel I have more strength but don't push myself too far.,,what could be causing this any ideas? my doctor says I am ok my niece says oh there is nothing wrong with you. why do I get these spells and feel sick when I get them. I am on depression meds. and anxiety meds and thyroid pills. they seem to be doing fine. mandy876
Same at my surgery too. If the doctor is running very late and I have had more than one thing to solve, I've been told that he has to finish with me because there are other patients.
He did feel guilty the next time I went though, because I was so ill.
Some doctors in my surgery will talk about more than 1 problem, but one doctor will not. It seems so silly at times and a waste of time and resources. I tried to get a double appointment once, and the receptionist wouldn't even let me do that when I had more than one problem wrong.
Some robots are already performing some operations. I don't know which is worse; an incompetent human surgeon or a robot that could stop working in the middle of an operation!
Good job that I've been too ill to worry when I had my operations!
Best wishes Mandy.

i still wish i had my old doctorhe would listen to you. that is important to me. the doctors makes it seem like you are going through an assembly line. they have 15 minutes to hear you than they go to the next patient. i wonder if some day we will have a robot to tell us what is wrong. mandy876
Yes, it is very important to have a doctor that you get on with and he or she understands your concerns and explains things to you properly in a way that you understand.
the doctor doubled my meds frrom 75 to 150. i feel tired and sleep a lot. and dizzy. i hope this will pass. i am still taking them. i noticed on the receipt that i had chronic kidney disease of 3 that scared me. i called the nurse back and she said most people my age kidney level was a 3. i dont dont knoq about this. i wrote on the kidney program but no one answered. i am looking for another doctor. i do not like change i took this doctor because my doctor qauit because of illness. this doctor was taking his patients. but no medicare patients. thank goodness it was a couple of years before i got on medicare. i really liked my old doctor. he went through some pretty hard timeswith him. i liked him he was the son of my moms and dads doctor. they were all in the same office. the fathers are retired now. their sons had taken over their practice.. your friend mandy876
you sound like a wonderful person. you have such a warm loving life . i hope you know how lucky you are. i work crosswords and variety books and also ordered some brain teasers. i guess like you say life is what you make itout to be. i had given up and could not get past it. losing my mom was the laststraw. i did not want to lose her she and i were so close. thank you for writing me this made me feel good. mandy876

With you having headaches, these may be from stress and anxiety, but the doctor should also check your blood pressure. Either too low or too high blood pressure can cause headaches. If it is too high, you doctor should monitor that for a few weeks before deciding whether you require medication to reduce the hypertension. At home, cut down the amount of salt you consume. Salt is added into a lot of foods.
Hope you get on OK
