Hello karukgirl!!
Yes, they put referrals in to both MN and AZ, and AZ is the one who responded.
I saw Dr Cannon. He really just went over the symptom options, none of which I was ok with. He did increase my Metoprolol dose to 25mg twice a day, and that made a huge difference, even after eating.
I understand how the eating plays a role with the breathlessness, all the blood going to digestion and none left for an hour or two after eating certain things or too much.
I can really mitigate any symptoms by staying hydrated, planning ahead my eating schedule with what I am doing.
I almost never sit down!! I am busy and active every day. Tons of energy and I love the outdoors.

I am so glad you cleared up the eating thing… yes the blood diverts to the tummy to aid digestion therefore none left to feed the body for a couple of hours. I have had that and it’s exhausting.. organise eating and not big meals is the answer.,
