I have a disorder with my automomic nervous system...

I have a disorder with my automomic nervous system which causes my blood pressure and pulse to skyrocket. It also causes physical pain. Took me years to get a diagnosis from a cardiologist that specializes in it. This little Dr. came in, did his wrap up, and looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for pain relief. Mind you, my heart has been beating out of my chest for 2 days. It's bloody painful. Told me to take Tylenol. Ive never left the hosptal after a flare up with my Sinus Tachycardia Dysautonomia in pain. Always has pain management. I wasn't asking for codone or anything...just some pain relief. This Doctor knows nothing about the disorder, told me I didn't know what I was talking about when I said it's common for the heart to hurt after rapid prolonged beating. It's a muscle that can ache. He told me, "it's a very special kind of muscle and that wasn't necessarily the case. It took me 7 years to get diagnosed, eventually finding a specislist (in Seattle where I moved from) to listen and diagnose me. I dealt with cocky little know it all (know nothings) for years who treated me like I was a liar and it was all in my head. This Dr. Ahn is the worst kind of jerk who thinks because he has M.D., he knows more than me about heart pain!! The girl who has been through hell for years.
