I have some questions about my doctors way of doing things?
i have been sick since november. i have been having episodes of really bad coughing, shortness of breath and breathing fat. i went to see a lung doctor in march. he wasn't sure what was wrong with me. so i was put on asthma medication. i was put on singular, it did not work. so now i am on a 2 week course of prednisone. i also have a rescue inhaler. like i said i saw the lung doctor in march and he does not want to see me back until june. i have called my lung doctor twice to tell him that i am not any better yet and he still does not want to see mt back until june. like i said my symptoms are really bad coughing, shortness of breath and breathing fast. well my lung doctor sent me for a barium swallow test. i don't see why a barium swallow test was needed for a person who is coughing and having shortness of breath. my mom is kinda mad at my at my lung doctor because he keeps giving me medication and sending me for tests and not wanting to see sooner than june.
my questions are why would a doctor send a patient with coughing and shortness of breathe for a barium swallow test? why does my doctor keep giving me meds and sending me for tests without seeing me first. should i find a new lung doctor? and are lung doctors the same thing as asthma doctors? and does my mom have a right to be mad at my doctor for giving me meds and sending me for tests without seeing me first?
