Another scenario. When I met my husband his Mother had shorness of breath and weakness . She saw a pdoc and he said the reason was anxiety and depression. He prescribed paxil which she couldn't take due to the side effect. Two weeks later they had a consult at Duke University Hospital and it was not anxiety or depression it was Lou Gerhigs Disease. She went into respiratory depression declined a ventilator and died a week later. Misdiagnosed. She knew something was wrong with her but the pdoc wouldn't listen but there was no internet then. So she died. Love Phillipa
