yesterday i started experiencing bad chest pain that kept me up most of the night and was still there when i woke up so i went to my Dr who agreed my hrt was way out of normal and skipping beats again and sent me to the er and specifically said i need blood work done and so i go to the hospital and as soon as I mention i have anxiety (with needles) they blame the whole thing on anxiety told me it's just a panic attack and refused to do blood work and sent me home with an anxiety medication. any tips on how to get Drs to take me seriously

I’ve seen this a lot recently, I think woman would take it more seriously while males would just like to diagnose you quickly. At least in my experience. I’m so sorry this has happened unfortunately it happens a lotz

Idk if it's the same for everyone, but female doctors are the only ones who have taken me seriously and gotten me help. Could be a coincidence, but thats just my experience.
@Morgazee yeah I've noticed that too and the Dr that saw me was a guy
