@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.
