Unsure

Hi guys
I have posted on here a few times. Basically I have chronic lung disease, 28 yo, and suffer with chest infections 3/4 times a year. Iv had pneumonia twice in last 4 years, most recently April this year with sepsis pneumonia. My doc has given me a sputum pot and I'm guessing he might be testing for different stuff. As chronic lunch disease is just an umbrella. I don't want to ask my doc to check as Iv been looking online as I know docs hate the Internet. Any idea? I have a good few symptoms of the subject but I am still unsure. I cough every morning, bring stuff up, suffer with infections year in year out.
Any thoughts guys.
Cheers

Not sure about the doctors hate internet comment. I have always found them to be receptive to responding to a non-confrontational use of information you have obtained from wherever. I believe that with the proper attitude medics prefer to have a session with an informed patient rather than one who is ignorant/passive. Boring as hell for them t have a one-sided working (non-)relationship all the time.
Change GP practice (or ask for a different GP in a multi-discipline practice) if you have doctors who are just prescription writers. My former GP practice in Leeds (now living in Thailand) was a real mix of fantastic doctors, enthusaistic starters and burnt-out pill-pushers, but generally I was very impressed with the practice. Can be difficult to break into the list of the fantastics though!
