Doctors won’t listen

Hey everyone,
Im feeling really anxious at the moment as there could be something very wrong with me. I’ve been to the doctors but they don’t seem to listen. This has been happening for years and each time they seem to come up with different answers about my problems and never really trying to investigate what the actual problem is with tests eg scans. I don’t want to start being forceful but I think I may have to start being extremely forceful when I next go to the doctor in order to get the treatment I deserve.
I’m anxious as what I could have, is something that my grandma unfortunately passed away from and I’m presenting very similar symptoms. If the NHS doesn’t work, my parents have decided to take me private and I feel that only then will they discover what the real issue is. This makes me anxious as it’s a lot of money too.
Any advice/ support would be really appreciated right now. Thank you

i totally get this, i have been in the same position with doctors not listening to me for the past couple of years now so i really do understand how frustrating this is!! it really is so unfair and not something that you should have to put up with at all!!
in my case, i just kept on making appointments every so often about it as it was having (and still is having) such an impact on my day to day life, so by going back time and time again they’re getting sick of me - i even had a gp tell me they didn’t wanna see me making any appointments for at least 3 more months because i keep making them about the same issue and i just said “well if use do your job i wont need to” - they then finally started doing blood tests etc and taking it a bit more seriously now, still dismissive and everything but they have made a start!
i know that you shouldn’t at all have to practically beg them to take you seriously and listen etc, but unfortunately in this world that seems to be what you have to do - you are so so deserving of support and most definitely should be listened to and taken seriously so pls keep fighting to be taken seriously and listened to!!
sending positive vibes your way🩷
