Communicating with health professionals

I have a professional job where i explain things every day to people yet I can't explain myself to the doctors. I don't know if it's just the people I encounter in the health service but I mostly feel fobbed off. I have difficulty explaining the extent of something so people don't think it's as bad as it actually is. Then on top of that, there's a sense I'm being a drama queen and "things aren't that bad". That hasn't explicitly been said but it's just the feeling I get. I would actually say, it's often when things are at their worst do I only get the help I need. And then it's like "well why didn't you see us sooner".

You can't win.
