I just came from a visit to a new cardio man and he changed one med and added a third. He made it sound like every other patient he sees has HOCM. I'm a bit leery about the whole thing. I changed doctors becauce my other doctor was far and had hours only until 3:00, AND I had to wait for him forever. I did see Dr. Sheerid once about 1 1/2 years ago. HE now has me on Alpace, Verapamil, and Zeebata. This doctor also told me that I acquired this disease because of my weight. He actually said if I was born with it I would have died a long time ago. That goes against everything that I read on this site. I am 53 and overweight and I do wonder how much of my SOB is from the weight. He made it sound like my whole problem was the weight. I never post but I think I need some feed back. Is it time for yet another doctor?
