Is it worth it to come to Mayo for second opinion?

Posted by peach0201 @peach0201, Nov 1, 2023

I’m a 43 y/o female who is in perimenopause. Tons of symptoms but worst is heart palpitations! Having a bad “flare up” of pvcs/pacs. Had loads of tests over the years. Have had one every 3-4 beats and even couplets, etc. for about 6 hours today. Think could be GERD/HH/Vagus nerve as it seems it can be positional. Another theory is hormonal. So I had a huge cry and guess what? They stopped. How weird? Praying they stay at bay cus usually gets worse when tryin to sleep. Anyway today was prob one of the scariest days I’ve ever had. Went to ER. Said nothing they could do for me. Only thing I’ve done differently is tried Metrolopol the last few days… some say that can make things worse. Praying this flare up ends soon. Really affecting my life. Wanting to make appt with Mayo. Hopefully won’t be a long wait. Will they even see me with this “benign” condition? Had six holters past year! Never can catch the “scary runs”. Thanks!

We are military and all have Tricare. Did you need a referral from your cardiologist to get an appt with Mayo or could you self-refer? Thanks.
