Doctors are useless

[Richie]

I went to my gp earlier on in the week with chest pain, a headache and shortness of breath, he told me I'm stressed when I'm clearly not and i don't know how it could relate to constant chest pain. I've been like this since sunday, i really hope i don't die just yet i have so many skills to pursue on runescape. Na but seriously, i dunno what the hell to do lol.


Since I'm "stressed" I'm actually sat here listening to stuff like this...

[Casanova]

it IS stress.
Promise you. I had the same, with palpitations, head swooning etc.

my blood pressure and stress levels were sky high.
remember you can be unaware - for me i had NO clue what it was i was stressed about, but I was having serious panics.

But what would that have to do with shortness of breath? I know this is going to sound ridiculous but my head feels like its dead and needs a big gasp of air lol

[Casanova]

i had it. it felt like everytime you breathed you got half of what you needed so then you sit there consciously trying to achieve a better breath? STRESS. it sounds so stupid though. i then believed it when I collapsed it's stress.

[Richie]

alright cheers pal, any idea on how long you had it for?

Well you could level up, do some quests, go to sorceress' garden again.

I do think stress is a big factor in people's health so less stress the better so I'd definitely consider it. Listening to peaceful music doesn't make you less stressful though, it's trying to improve what's causing you to be stressed in the first place

[Casanova]

you can't measure it Richie.
For me, it meant sitting down and realising all the issues/problems I had and working out a viable plan.

Really it's just trying to actively working for a change. to control the issue instead of it controlling you. it could be something as stupid as self image, a relationship problem. for me it was a culmination of insomnia, work related stress, family issues and a giant partying lifestyle .

note the fact now I go out a lotttttt less and I'm on here a lottttt more!!

Obviously your doctor who has had years of education and experience is useless. I feel sorry for doctors now, some can be dismissive but they all seem to be treated as if they don't know what they are talking about by every member of the public who 'knows better'. They don't spend years at university twiddling their thumbs you know.

@Above: You can measure the biochemistry of stress, thus measuring stress.

Yeah, every GP has the capabilities and equipment to measure stress.
what absolute crap.

[-:Undertaker:-]

If medical problems persist then continue going back and insisting on checkups/all possible routes, far too many times have doctors on the over-stretched NHS described life-threatening conditions as 'stress related' or 'depression' - don't accept pity pills from them either.

The same most likely applies in the Irish Republic, but i'm not sure as to what scale.
