Having problems with dry mouth possibly from medications

Hi,
I feel sure my dry mouth is coming from my prescription drugs.
I also have a "heady" feeling all day long, I think from drugs...all blood pressure related.
My Doctor is great if you have no issues. When I asked her today to please refer me to someone if she could not help me...and she turned back to the "counter top to write a prescription and said the "F" word!! I'm still in shock!! Here we go, got to found a better Doctor...mine before was GREAT...but she retired!! Any ideas how to do this?

Fala, Wow! How unprofessional for her to say that. My doctor of 32 years retired and i had to start all over with someone. Check online to see if doctors around you are accepting new patients. Look at their ratings from other patients. All you have to do is call when you find someone (perhaps a family member or friend has a good primary doctor they can let you know about!) and tell them you are a new patient. Call your doctor's office that you are leaving and ask for your medical records if you are not signed up to a patient portal with that doctor. I pray you will find someone. I know doctors are burnt out from staff shortage, Covid, etc., but, that's no excuse to use that word with a patient. I'm sorry that she said that to you. Blessings & Prayers.....
