@amymichc Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
Living in the Pacific Northwest, I am not sure how far you may be from Oregon Health and Science University [OHSU] in Portland area, a great teaching hospital. It is ranked Number 1, and I know several people who have gone there. My husband travels the 4 hours to go there annually for his kidney transplant checkup; we live in southern Oregon.
In the Seattle area is Harborview Medical Center, part of the University of Washington system [but being in mid-Seattle, it is a real pain to access] My sister worked there as an RN for 35+ years, and her commute was always a nightmare!
If you feel you need to get a second opinion, then follow your gut! Cardiac issues know no age range, is my thought. I recall a specialist telling me the same thing a couple decades ago about a condition I have, and my response was to cock my head over to one side and tell him. "Well, I just proved you wrong!"
I hope you will return if you have nay more questions, and let me know what you decide.

Ginger,
I have looked into a referral to OHSU, as I know they have Oncology Cardiologists. Fortunately, it is only about an hour from where I live. I believe I am probably just beginning my cardiac journey. Right now I have the cardiologists a little baffled. It's weird to be on medication that is helping but they don't know what is causing the symptoms.
