OP it never hurts to have a second opinion. Perhaps a visit to a specialist is in order.
It can be difficult to see a specialist , however in Pop's case with the prior history they may make an exception. It can be very costly, but it is useful to find out if these problems are not due to a more serious illness. For all we know op might have a history of cancer, or growths in the lungs. Sometimes it is better to be safe. Feel better OP.
'**** **** it ******* hurts' love the name op
^really? Not even an attempt to try and hide that you are thread jacking?
I was so going to comment but I got stopped by a laughing fit from your name op sorry you're in pain
Definitely get a second opinion, OP! I had a similar situation with gallstones. When I suggested on my initial visit that I might have them, the doctor said I was "too young". I suffered for months before finding out I had a large one blocking my bile duct and having to have emergency surgery. Only you can advocate for your own health. Don't let a doctor intimidate you; if you think something is wrong, be persistent!
Part of being a doctor (at least where I live...) is being able to deal with people. There is a relationship between the mind and the body you know :) Aside from having a career where you are dealing with people all the time. A little tact would be great!
Serious
What do you call a guy who graduated last in his class from medical school? Doctor.
I wouldn't call this doctor as much of a moron as I would a total jack ass. But I do still agree that he is moron, sadly.
Agreed. I question how a person as sassy as the doctor is fit to be one.
Most of them are nowadays.
I agree to that. I had a moron in the ER. I was puking my guts up and he made me eat a red Popsicle
Why the thumbs down?
That's a bold thing to state, how many doctors have you visited lately?
62 - He gave you his swollen D
Some are bastards even!
Go to another doctor for a second opinion!
Hopefully he doesn't try to help the 2nd doctor either, with them always being right and all.
I actually had a similar issue. I have asthma and I smoke and I was having similar issues and I went into my doc and he told me it was probably from the acid reflux that he just diagnosed me with. My AR isn't the more serious one, but its new and he said that will sometimes be a side affect.
or a third!
I'm not a doctor but isn't acid reflux in the stomach and such?
At the entrance to your stomach is a valve, which is a ring of muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Normally, the LES closes as soon as foo passes through it. If the LES doesn't close all the way or if it opens up too often, acid produced by your stomach can move up to your esophagus. Thus, causing a burning chest pain known as acid reflux.
Now I know! And knowledge is power!
Hehe, you said sphincter
I know it is a real term, I was making a joke by acting immature and being entertained by the word. I thought it was a good joke, but I guess it wasn't, it happens, oops
I used to get chronic sinus infections and bronchitis and antibiotics did absolutely nothing. In fact, I developed MRSA from being on them for so long. Turned out it was Acid Reflux and between taking a prescription antacid and modifying my diet, I haven't had any problems since. Point being, don't discount what your doctor is saying OP.
I think your doctor is trolling you.
Not really a people person now is he?
Well it looks like you'll be in pain for a lung time! No? Bah humbug!
Your doctor was probably jealous that you managed to figure out the problem first.
Isn't he neuro? Or is that doc grumpy on twitter because I know he is...
DocBastard is a trauma surgeon.
uhm, acid refu

Sounds like you should look for a new doctor...
Go to another doctor for a second opinion!
