Parent gave false information and changed my doctors appointment, trying to help but I’m really angry. Overreacting?

So I had a bad fight with my parents (we rarely fight) and I need some perspective as to whether I’m on the right side of things or not.

I’m 21F and I live with my parents (and brother) due to having just graduated and the whole COVID situ, I intend to move out in hopefully less than a years time when I’ve saved up enough, but until then we’re having to get along as a family under the same roof.

Today I made a doctors appointment to change my contraceptive and I was able to get an appointment for wednesday. I was fine with this as its non urgent, I just want to change before the end of my last packet because its giving me acne. I complained to my mum earlier about period pains, and about bleeding, and I took 1 paracetamol - no different to usual in this aspect but I think she took this as thats why I wanted to change even though I said its because my skin was getting worse (the original reason for me going on it). I told her I got an appointment for wednesday and that I could wait a few days, because it wasnt urgent, and I was fine to wait. She said it was ridiculous I had to wait that long but no more was said about it.

When my dad gets home I hear him speaking to my doctor on the phone, telling them I’m bleeding severely and I absolutely need an appointment for tomorrow. He gets the appointment, tells me and expects a thankyou. This isnt the first time this has happened either.

I shouted at them like I’ve never shouted before. I’ve never had arguments with my parents before as I feel I am very respectful and mindful of everything they do for me, and I kind of just go along with whatever they say. But I felt like this went over the line and I said it was my appointment and they had no right to change it without asking me, and the false information they’ve given could affect my medication change. I was particularly harsh to my mum as I feel like she knew my dad would get on the phone and demand to change it as he has done this with my appointments before.

I understand they were trying to help and I have said to them that I know they meant well, but what they did was unacceptable. Am I being overdramatic and do I need to go and apologise?

Tl;dr dad called my doctor and made things sound worse than they were to get an earlier appointment based on what my mum told him even though I said I was fine to wait a few days. They say they were just helping but I’m very angry and shouted at them. Feeling bad and need some perspective.
