@aard Thank you so much for your reply. I hoping after my Family Doctor appointment that he can get me a referral to a Cardiologist. It will probably take months. Im going to write down what you said so that i cant bring it up at my appointments. It feels like my anxiety is a huge cause but i need to know more.
Thanks again!!

@muppet7777 You can always go to Emerg if you have symptoms. They take heart conditions seriously, and usually right away. Meaning you'll get a 6 or 12 lead ECG right away with a reading, and an internist will come by and tell you what's going on . That becomes your formal diagnosis, at which a cardiologist's referral will just center around management or treatment. You needn't wait months to see a cardiologist, especially if your heart rate (HR) runs above 100 beats per minute (BPM) for 24 hours or longer. If that happens you need to go to Emerg.
