Thank you for the responses, I have calmed down a bit today

Alice MD, is a respiratory doctor called just that or do they have a special name? I have a follow up appt. on Oct.9 and I can ask if there is one in town. I think it was a basic lung test they gave me but it didn't show anything unusual, yet I have times daily with shallow breathing. I have explained it happens when I feel no anxiety but he still insists that's all it is.

After calming down some, I agree with you both, that the MG specialist has probably done me a favor by not seeing me. I can't understand being so casually dismissed without even an appointment to see for himself.

My husband and I both believe my doctor includes his thought on anxiety when he does a referral and it skews their thinking from the start. A cardiologist telling me (after saying I had tachycardia and very low blood pressure) to 'go home, take a warm bath and listen to soft music' was a clue to this.

I need to gather up the strength to get thru the next tests and see how things go and make a new plan if needed.
