If you think that you have a heart problem, you should find a doctor who will listen to you and take you seriously. Sometimes doctors can be dismissive. If you encounter one like this, leave and find another.

My sister knew that there was something wrong with her. She saw a series of doctors for a year and a half. They were all treating different symptoms. Finally one of them put all of her symptoms together and came up with the conclusion that she had Lyme Disease. She is now healthy, but it was a long battle. Luckily, she had a great doctor in her corner. Unfortunately, she encountered one impatient, rude, and dismissive doctor. My sister told her primary care physician about him and now her doctor will not refer any more patients to him.

Your health and well-being is ultimately in your hands. I hope that you can find a cardiologist who can give you a definitive diagnosis. Again, if a doctor is dismissive, leave and find another. I wish you the best.
