types of physician - #27972
I am really confused about the different types of physician because I've been having some health issues lately and I don't know who to reach out to. Like, months ago, I started feeling this weird pain in my chest, and it's been coming and going. At first, I thought it was just stress from work, but then it started feeling more serious. I went to a family doctor, who ran some tests and said everything looked normal, but I still feel this weird heaviness sometimes. After that, I was told maybe I should see a cardiologist, but I’m not even sure what that does. There are so many types of physician out there, like general practitioners, specialists, and even alternative ones, and it gets really confusing. Just the other day, I overheard someone talking about an internal medicine doctor and thought, would they be better for my situation? I mean, do I just keep bouncing around to different types of physician or is there a step-by-step way to figure this out? I’m worried I’m not getting the right help, and I honestly could use some guidance on which types of physician I should see for this kinda recurring chest pain. Any advice from you all would be super helpful!
