I’m not ignoring them but my GP is. Do you have any advice on how I get taken seriously?

want to tell these points to GPs? we can't help help if the route to help doesn't know these.

So important to share. My experience with several of these was being told by a female GP, “It’s normal, you can’t be breathless because of a heavy period. It’s not that bad” I then got a phone call with an apology when my blood results came back.
I know what I need to ask for and to push for but so many people don’t. Content like this is so important, especially when so many women still aren’t being listened to when it comes to their health.

My GP ignored this for years, after having ct colonoscopy that locked up I have a bulky fibroid containing uterus and thickened lining. Referal to gynaecologist, got lost but now being chased after 3 months!
