I am not one for the doctors but I am always taking people to their doctor, maybe that`s why I don`t want them poking around with me, I have either seen how they helped someone or how they have "kept" someone coming back for more. Unfortunately its usually for the pills. Since Bruce Jenner decided he did not like his penis anymore hormones are now a controlled substance, can you believe that?!! so I have to go to a doctor twice a year to get the hormones that keep me sane. No problem, I can sit with the germs for a couple hours, and its actually for me. Then a doctor says " I hear something" while listening to your heart.I want to ask another doctor, I did she said, its so faint that I can barely hear it, don`t worry about it. but I HAVE TO KNOW! I get sent for a million tests and I will add they are all topless. Since my regular doctor doesnt do what he said he heard I am not going to that kind of doctor except it is taking six months to get in. I reckon a person could be dead by then. Okay you know when a real doctor tells us some we come straight home and go look it up. Before that doctor appointment I felt fine and I was on the go and healthy. After Now I feel like crap and I am not sure but is there a flutter or an ache actually there? See I hate the power of suggestion! Am I sick or am I inventing these feeling because someone said " I may be sick?".

That's a tricky situation. Don't you know a doctor who you really trust?

I trust my doctor literally with my life. If you have no trust then you have the wrong doctor.

I would be asking more questions, this time, tell them you're not playing any games so you really want to know what's going on ask for a second opinion if you can get answers.

It's nice that you share this online so you can get answers. But my advice go to a different hospital with a more skillful doctors

I agree that suggestion can affect the way you feel. It's like someone saying you don't look well, when you'd been fine up till then.

The Internet can be a helpful thing, but you know what they say about a little knowledge being a dangerous thing! Find a doctor you trust and don't leave until he answers all your questions.
