I don't want my new doctor to think I'm a nut.

Age 57. I think I have a "hole in my heart" (ASD/VSD). Other doctors have dismissed my concern or tested me for something else. I don't want my new doctor to think I'm a nut. She genuiely cares about me as a patient. I'm in good health; I mainly have very little endurance. Other possibilities could be pulmonary hypertension or heriditary copd, as the symptoms are very similar. I thought it might be interesting to viewers to have us (patient & doctor) on your show to role play a discussion of the symptoms. Thanks! Chuck
