@Tissyanne how far is the nearest, or better yet have a trauma center from your home?
There is a referral called Shot Gun referral that sends out 'needs to be seen now'and there's a great chance one has a cancellation, OR an opening. If not, there's the other plan if no one is taking this seriously. Your physician should be made aware of what is happening now!
If not, call to speak to the ER head nurse, explain what is happening -and say I need ( NOT I believe- want) to come right now...there is a medication I have to take for hypertension+++ another medication that a doctor gave me for too much acid causing me to struggle to get the pill down...'I feel like the pill will not go down ...and.. I'm afraid it will become STUCK by [trying.]
If this were me: SAYING: My throat feels very narrow and swollen from the constant acid coming up at differnt times.
This whatever condtion has become worse since (he/she ) gave me the RX for anti acid; it's difficult to lie down and have this acid burning which is causing me to struggle with my needed medication.
I NEED to have someone in ER see me when I check in.
If a larger hospital, they have someone on call, or can get you to one, OR ....have one there at the hospital.
Take your insurance card - have CC/ $$s for a Co pay- and your ID/ driver's license.
If the medical secretary at this Dr's office will not/ cannot get you in to the Gastro now, then I suggest you have an alternate plan.
Also, early tomorrow, say the very same thing to this DR's office nurse. You apparently NEED to be seen immediately by a specialist that has experience with Emergencies, GERD or its similarity symptoms.
