Exhausted with trying to figure this all out. ANY HELP APPRECIATED!

Hi Ladies,
I am back again with another post. I have been struggling with Ovarian cyst symptoms since the end of Feb this year (almost 6 months). I have had a clear pelvic ultrasound (external as they didn't want to do internal) at the start of May (although this felt rushed and I have heard not very reliable in testing for cysts) - I was referred for suspected PCOS by the way and the scanner said it wouldn't even show in this scan and so I think this may have affected how rushed it felt. I have since been on Mebeverine for possible IBS, Amitriptyline for possible neurological issues and now am on Rigedivon (or something like that- basically a form of the pill) to stop ovulation as the pain seemed to increase around that time. However, none of this has made a difference. I have been on the pill for less than a month and told to wait 3 months for the full effects, but as of now, my situation is still getting worse. I have also had hormone blood tests which were normal. In total, I am up to at least 5 (possibly more) GP appointments and I am losing the will.
Things have been getting noticeably worse this last month/ month and a half and now I have a massive stomach. Extreme nausea (I feel like I am about to throw up- thankfully haven't actually thrown up yet as I HATE it) almost every single time I lie down. I get pain throughout the day (now spread to both sides/ovaries) that is worse when walking too fast and lying in certain positions (such as on my side). I am absolutely exhausted. I have been generally exhausted throughout this all but with everything getting worse, I think my sleep quality is bad and so I literally sleep 9 hours, wake up exhausted, need to nap in the day and just physically cannot do anything. I spend most of my day doing nothing because I physically struggle to. I get really dizzy and short of breath frequently.
I was told to try the pill for 3 months but I cannot wait that long with the rate things are going. Things keep declining and I am losing the will to live at this point. I tried to make an appointment with my GP but the only available appointment was the 31st of August or next week with a different doctor. I hate to sound so dramatic but I really feel like my body is giving up on me. What do I do? I feel like I can't wait that long for my GP appointment and even then, I would need to beg for more scans and tests which they seem so reluctant to give. (I think I don't stress how bad my symptoms are). I am almost considering A&E but I don't want to waste their time if it's not necessary.
Please, can anyone share words of wisdom, advice or even just your story to help me feel like I am not going crazy.
Thank you in advance!
