am i screwed with my english requirments for medicine?

i am planning on studying in the uk soon and I am a bit worried about my english language grade. I got a grade 5 in the IGCSE FIRST LANGUAGE ENGLISH subject with a distinction in the optional speaking exam. i remarked the exam cuz i really felt something has gone wrong, and looking at all the mock exams I have done for english ranging from 7-9 i was expecting at the lowest a 7/A, yeah it increased by a significant 6 marks but i was 2 marks away from the 6/B so unfortunately it stayed the same.

now the rest of my IGCSE exams and A Levels are excellent and are above what most med unis require but the english grade is making me think ill get an instant reject.

now since im applying as an international student, does doing the IELTS exam be an alternative to an English proficiency test other than my IGCSE grade?

thanks for reading
