I Keep Losing My Voice… (Singing Teachers)

Ok, there is no way my bladder will ever be able to hold that much

I’m really pissed off with the doctor. I saw who I thought was a really good one, who said “right, only come to me now and I’ll monitor all the problems.” (Have allergy issues that are like constant hayfever and rashes) she said she would refer me to an ENT when I asked, as I keep losing my voice and it’s my career. She was understanding and said she’ll be able to get an ENT to see me, and that the one I would see specialises in vocalists. Couldn’t believe my luck! She then prescribed me shit loads of drugs which cost over £30 (walking pharmacy, as usual) which was to sort some stuff out while I waited to hear from ENT. Sure enough, I had a message from the doctor saying the ENT had been in touch and suggested indigestion tablets before I went to see her. Wtf?! So now I’m meant to buy even more drugs which are completely pointless and I already told her I didn’t need?! Can’t get in touch with doc before Tuesday now. Currently ill with a cough and cold, allergy triggered, sick of all the drugs I’m pumping into my body and have no answers and NO ENT!!! (I’m all good for drugs though)

I think they’re just guarding against acid reflux – have you felt like you’ve had heartburn recently?

I second what Matt is saying. You can often get acid reflux in your sleep and not know about it, and the symptoms it presents with are very similar to that if you have allergies. If anything the indigestion tablets are probably to make doubly sure that anything the ENT sees in the laryngoscopy is purely down to allergies and not something else.
