@j2950 welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You mentioned being seen at urgent care, having an EKG and blood work. Are the providers at urgent care the “they” that want you to see a cardiologist? Do you have a regular primary doctor? If so, I would start there. You could ask the Dr. to review the records from urgent care, describe what you have been experiencing and ask if it makes sense to follow up with cardiology &/or endocrinology. What about your situation makes you wonder about endocrinology?

I moved to be near my daughter's oncologists and do not have a primary care doctor here. Yes, it was the UC doctor that wants to refer to cardiologist. I am thinking endocrine and not cardio due to no pain, normal EKG and normal asculation. I have never smoked, have a BMI that matches my age (60) and height. BP is in normal range. No history of heart issues. I am thinking hypothyroidism or an adrenal gland issue...
With my daughter's leukemia, I just can't afford to run up a huge medical bill for myself trying to figure out what this is. Thank you for your reply
