[Looking for Dr. @ Mass General-Boston]

Hi
Does anyone know of a good and knowledgeable doctor
in the Boston area, preferably Mass General Hospital
that specializes in HCM? I have not been feeling well at
all after starting an exercise program and started with the
palpitations, nausea, dizziness and syncopy. I stopped
on last Monday and am still not feeling 100%. I got
a copy of my medical records to take to a specialist
because of some hernieted discs in my neck from a car
accident and believe it or not came across a report from a
doctor I had seen who wrote after my echo that I had "early
left ventricular hypertrophy" and "cannot rule out abberant
coronary artery." Needless to say I am shocked that this
came TEN YEARS later only because I requested some
records for something totally not related. My Mom has
cardiac problems and her Dad's family did too. I lost my
Aunt (my Mom's sister) three years ago to sudden death, with
no autopsy but heart related. I am having strange sensations
on the left side of my head also and a tingling feeling going
through my body. Anyone have any advice or know of anyone
or am I better off in another state being treated?
Thanks....I have already learned alot just by reading your postings.
Any help and comments are appreciated.
Arlene

Arlene,
I would suggest you contact TUFTS. It is the practice of the HCMA not to give out doc. #'s and names on the message board. If you call the office we can discuss your needs further.
Best wishes,
Lisa Salberg

Dear Arlene,
I'm sadly not incredibly surprised by what happened. Please call Lisa right away and get checked out. You and your siblings and your children (if any) should all be screened with echocardiograms asap.
all the best,
Sarah
