I had a horrible chest infection last year and couldn't get an appointment anywhere because it was too severe for a GP and not severe enough for A&E. My GP surgery advised me to call 111 and exaggerate my symptoms to get seen at a hospital. Bonkers that I basically had to pretend to have a heart attack to get some antibiotics and an inhaler.
Sounds like your GP abdicated their responsibilities. They hould be able to see you and book you in for a chest xray at the hsopital to see if you have pneumonia. That's what they did for me.
