Hi everyone,
I don't have a GP, so I'd need to go to a walk-in clinic. I have a few concerns that I want to ask about, but I'm not sure if a clinic would be the proper place to ask since I haven't seen a non-psychiatric doctor in YEARS. Here are my concerns that I want addressed:
1. Asking about potentially getting a pap smear, or whatever it's called! I want to ask if I even need it, because I'm a virgin. But I'm 19 years old and figure that I may need it now, regardless of virginity? (Either way, I'm super nervous about asking that question!)
2. Asking about being tested for asthma, I think I have it, and I think it's caused by allergies combined with exercise.
3. Just today I started having a beating sensation in my left ear. It sounds just like a heartbeat, but is faster and more irregular. I think it may be a form of tinnitus (sp?) It comes and goes, but it's extremely annoying.
Is the clinic the right place to ask these questions?
