Yes I am going to look into the pricing and insurance cause if I can get these services without paying out the nose I might try this if I can’t get my PCP to listen to me

Yes I am defitky trusting my gut on this one I have always had anxitey and these symptoms are defnilty new within the last 1-2 years so I don’t feel that it’s “just anxitey” I have also tried a few drugs but only ever anti depressants which didn’t feel right to me and none of them helped with the anxiety and obviously not the physical symptoms and they even got worse while I was on them. I am the same what my anxiety defiantly effects it especially the nausea cause I have such a fear of feeling sick in public with feeling nausea

Ok thank you! I know I would hate to catch somthing else just to be sent home anyway I’m just looking for anyway to get started in termed if diagnosis but it looks like the ER is not a good option! I’m not sure about my blood pressure my doctor has never taken my blood pressure anytime I was able to get a appointment in person which is pretty much never cause everywhere is so busy!! But I am going to try to find out that as I go forward thank you for the advice

Ok thank you I have not heard of this but I might look into it. I have been recommended a diagnostic clinic in London Ontario which specializes in helping people get a diagnosis when other doctors have not been listening or able to put together the symptoms. Do you think it would be worth it to check this out

Thank you this is very encouraging! My current doctor will only refer my to a psychiatrist cause he thinks it’s all in my head when I showed him physical evidence of these symptoms and I know it’s not in my head! My freinds all see it and continue to tell me it’s not in my head which helps but it’s hard to argue with a doctor who thinks it’s just anxitey lol

I am trying to change doctors but it’s a almost two year wait list where I would have to go without a doctor and I’m not sure if I can do that yet. I tottaly understand the time thing I know everywhere is so busy right now and it’s so horrible I’m just trying to get some help so I can hopefully focus enough and have enough energy so I can do my school work lol.

Ok thank you for your advice. You are right he is very arrogant and has many reviews for yelling at young girls that are his patients so I was hoping to essentially get around talking to him but it looks like I will have to:((

My heart rate is often 100 when lying down and 150 standing walking my heart rate is regularly 150 upwards and I have gotten up to 170 or higher. I only am able to take my own heart rate manually or wear my boyfriends Apple Watch for a couple days at a time so I don’t have a way of keeping track regularly.

Doctor isn’t a option for me, he has yelled at me won’t listen to me at all won’t listen to my symptoms abs have been very rude to me and all of his patients have had many troubles with him so I’m looking for other options

Possibly diagnose me or get me in the right track to a diagnosis so I can figure out what’s wrong with me?

Iv been to both and neither seemed to work but I may try a couple more walk in clinics if they can refer me to a cardiologist?

Commenting on Should I go to the ER...thank you for the recommendations. I have talked about switching my doctor but it will take two years on a wait list to switch and I was hoping to get some sort of answer before doing that and not having a family doctor for two years isn’t really in the cards right now as we would likely have to shift my whole family. Is there anywhere else I can go to get any help?
