Personal poll: do i makes a docs appointment?

Last month I went to the docs cos for a significant amount of time (talking years. Genuinely don’t know when I clocked it was actually an issue) my nose has been very blocked an hard to breathe through. Like I blow my nose several times to clear it and only air comes out. Breathing through my nose makes my whole face feel like it’s burning. He determined it’s probs a dust allergy and prescribed a nasal spray that’s done absolutely nothing. Also been having trouble since covid where the air pressure in my ears is like I’m on a plane and I have to pop them like every 5 mins. And over the years I’ve suffered hearing damage from my ear drum rupturing on 3 occasions. Since the appointment I’ve had very swollen tonsils now for the second time which when one breathing passage is limited already is really frustrating. And I will frequently have multiple fevers from tonsillitis each winter that I have no choice but to work through (thankfully not the case as of this year but concerned it will progress) . And to top it all off, I think a lot of this which clearly seems and feels linked to my sinuses, is a huge part of my migraine triggers which are completely debilitating and even the strong ass prescription pain killers hardly touch them. . — reasons for no are that gps tend not to listen to me and are very dismissive (been admitted to hospital multiple times after they ignored something serious) and there’s a lot of other shit I have to sort at the docs and even if they did decide to do something, the waitlist to see an ears nose throat specialist is 9 months lol
