Hi..I have been a Mayo patient at Rochester, but they are now refusing appointments in their internal medicine department. After Dr Van left Mayo, I can not get an appointment. They have refused me twice now within this last year. Do you have any suggestions for me? I have long Covid and very elevated hypertension and was told in March I also have orthostatic hypotension , so my blood pressure is high then it drops which causes me to faint. I have a concussionn , TBI, broken nose from the fall in March and the fall in June caused a injury to my right leg and knee. Blood pressure in the 200's , bottom number in the 100's. I really don't want to have a stroke and I already have a brain aneurysm. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.

@kitty2, I'm sorry to here that you are unable to get an appointment in General Internal Medicine. Currently, they are receiving more requests than there are appointments available. If you are already a Mayo patient, might you seek a referral to a different department to address the cardiovascular issues?
