Hello @sajoe,
Facing any new diagnosis and treatment can be a challenge both mentally and physically. It can also feel isolating, but by reaching out on Connect you have found a community of others who have walked a similar path. I'd like to add my welcome to those from @harveywj, @cedarbog, @deniseheart and @gloaming who shared their experiences and some resources. I'd also like to welcome @rbnay2023 to this discussion as well.
If you you'd like to seek a second opinion, you can request an appointment with Mayo Clinic, http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.
@sajoe, you bring up some very good questions and you mentioned there are no more tests to be done, just a referral. Are you able to discuss some of the questions about further testing to rule out or single out the causes of your tachycardia? It sounds like your current provider is open to referral, have you started this process?

My tests so far were an in office EKG and 48 hour Holter monitor and neither showed anything. In desperation I bought a KardiaMobile to provide a strip of my tachycardia. My PA's response was a prescription for Metoprolol. My referral now is to an EP for the beginning of May 2025. Can you get a second opinion from Mayo Clinic about testing of possible physical causes BEFORE appearing in person for an appointment? I'm 131 miles from Jacksonville. My current Cardiac PA is no longer in my local medical group so I'm in limbo but my insurance does not require referrals.
