It seems they should be doing an ECHO at the very least to check the structures of your heart, your ejection fraction, and your valves. I would ask about this. GERD can affect your heart-are you taking anything for it? Also are you on any meds for the diabetes? I hope you have an excellent internist, as you are a complicated pt., and if you are not seeing a board certified cardiologist that you like, find one you do. You deserve to have a complete workup and explanation of your symptoms. Good luck-Debi
I forgot to mention, I did have an ECHO and it was normal. I am taking omeprazole for GERD and metformin for the diabetes. (I am complicated, aren't I? I have heard that before!)
I just switched internists, I hope this one is better. Thank you so much for your response.
