I have tried. I live in Fort Myers about 900,000 live here. But now for the next 3 months probably 1,200,000. Tourist. I called my local referral for Cardiologist and the woman said new patients starting in mid June. I have a call into 2 doctors family and Neurologist. Maybe they can get me in faster. My pulse right after and during 2020 was around 27 to 33 Now its always in low 40s. Thanks for your reply. Good luck to all of us.

I'd get back with my doctor and tell them that the cardiologist said they couldn't get you in until June. You need to be fast-tracked because "XYZ." You could also see if you were health system has a patient advocate to make this happen sooner.
You could also call the cardiologist's office back and tell them why you're being referred. If the person on the phone doesn't get it, ask for a supervisor.
It's like this everywhere. I have to advocate for myself like you would not believe. It's just ridiculous. And it's even harder when you feel terrible.
