I think I have the same problem as my colleagues all women of certain age... a certain dismissal of our health concerns as so much hypochondria.

One colleague is on warfarin she is only 40 something. She gets regular blood checks but nothing else and they stopped requesting a regular BP check.   Another colleague is on BP tablets just recently for high blood pressure, but she gets severe drops about once a month for the last 10 years, that cause her to pass out. She used to be monitored monthly. Now she has to request a BP check as I do.

These colleagues have friends of similar age and problems who suddenly seem to be treated dismissively by their GPs. I don't know if it is NHS wide or just local. We all go to different GP surgeries in the same town.
