Misdiagnosed clots nearly cost me my life

For months, multiple general practitioners at my local practice disregarded my symptoms as mere anxiety, despite me scheduling 6-7 appointments to express my growing concerns. I persistently explained that my symptoms were worsening, which ultimately triggered severe health anxiety because I knew something was fundamentally wrong with me. It took me nearly fainting and feeling extremely unwell before going to the emergency room, where I was diagnosed with blood clots in both lungs. My consultant confirmed that all my previous symptoms were indeed consistent with this condition. This has been an incredibly frightening experience that has completely eroded my trust in the GP practice, and this isn't the first time they've dismissed my health concerns only to later discover I actually had a genuine medical condition. I'm utterly bewildered by how such repeated mistakes can occur, and I strongly feel that the presence of mental health notes on my record leads them to automatically discount my physical symptoms.
