Hello, thank you for replying, i fainted that’s why i was in hospital, I was trying to explain the weird symptoms I have had in the past few weeks, I never had before, for example cough with mucus, pain in stomach (not period cramps) and many other issues but they wouldn’t listen because they believed I was just a drunk

Well, it’s just really sad to hear you were treated like that and no one bothered to really check into your symptoms.
I’m just wondering, do you have a primary care physician? If you’re still having these symptoms, that might be a good place to start at this point.
Don’t let this go because of what happened in the ER. You have to be your own advocate…and know your body better than anyone. So if you feel something isn’t right, then you have every right to keep trying to find an answer.

Before your appointment, write down what you’re experiencing, including fainting, when the symptoms started, anything that makes them worse or helps, etc.. Your doctor may order another set of labs to check your blood.

Do you have a primary care physician?
