Throat pain/chest & breathing problems
The doctor wrongfully diagnosed me with acid reflux 3 weeks ago and prescribed me 2x500ml of gaviscon and ranitidine tablets. I have been taking the medication as told by doctor each day for 3 weeks. Today i went to the doctor only for them to tell me that i should stop taking the medication and it is merely my asthma. I was having throat pains when i ate and swallowed. Once she prescribed gaviscon and tablets i began to have shortness of breath and chest pains.Can i sue her?Long term impacts?

Well acid reflux can cause coughing...however at your first visit you may not have clear cut symptoms to label it as asthma...and so clinician gave you a trial of   ranitidine...dont know about your country but you had see a pulmonologist first before taking any decision to sue the doctor.
