Should I Consult A Doctor Urgently While Having New Breathlessness And Pain While Breathing, Apart From Diarrhea After A Diverticulosis Diagnosis?
I went to urgent care on Saturday and they said I have Diverticulosis is small, bulging sacs or pouches that form in the inner lining of the intestine – usually the colon. I’m waiting for my apt to see my Doctor to get referral to a gastroenterologist on Thursday its Monday and I can’t wait until Thursday. I have short breaths it hurts when I breathe and I’m starting to get diarrhea my pain got mild. Every time I lie down and get up it’s hard to breathe. Now my question is should I wait until Thursday to see a Dr ? Or are my symptoms serious and I need to see a Dr ASAP
