I totally understand what you are going through. I am in the same boat, where the pcp is treating numbers and not the symptons I have explained. I have asked him to refer me to an endo and he won't he just beats around the bush. With me asking the reasoning of my symptons he just explains stuff that I already know, that he has told me, my pcp treats me like I am stupid, so I have been doing some research online and taking the articles to him, but that doesn't work either. I am sorry that I don't know what to tell you, but if you find a way to make your doc understand you please let me know. I hate going through the process of leaving one doc to another. You have to expain yourself all over again, but sometimes its worth it!!! Hang in there and hope for the best.

Hi and welcome - I'm glad that you could come here to let off some steam. What is tacticar? Is it a heart problem? Cathy

Do you mean tachycardia? Tachycardia is when the heart begins racing with or without reason (ie after exercise).
