Worried I won’t be taken seriously

[willitpass]

For about 2 years now I've experienced a concerningly high heart rate anytime I do anything strenuous at all (I'm talking 200bpm+), as well as a somewhat high heart rate while at rest. I told my doctor and they ran some tests that showed them how high it gets and they said that I'm fine. Nothing was done about it. So back home I went and I've been living with it.
Now I've developed a new symptom that I'm becoming concerned about: my deep muscles will start twitching, muscles that I cannot voluntarily move even if I wanted to, and they will twitch for several minutes at a time. I sometimes have tremors in my hands and feet as well. As of a couple weeks ago, anytime I go from a sitting or laying position and stand up, I have trouble coordinating my legs properly and am off balance and run into things for about a minute before I'm able to steady myself. Something feels deeply wrong. However I have years and years of mental health issues and hospitalizations to the point where I fear that telling my doctor will yield a couple of tests and then I will be told I'm fine and written off as psychosomatic and sent home with no answers and a hefty bill. I hate the stigma mental health brings to the physical health world.

I'm not asking for a diagnosis or anything, I suppose this is just a vent

yeah dude, I always keep my health issues (mental and physical) to myself. If you have hypertension, your heart rate goes up, I wouldn't know otherwise why that would be.
stigma with depression is a shitty thing, if I tell anyone, it would just make my situation worse.
I hope things work out better for you in the long run, I really do

Find another doctor, wth is this bs. Some sadly really don't know how to do their job.

If it were me, I would get a second opinion. Yeah, you have mental health issues, but your heart rate and subsequent balance and tremor issues are what need to be addressed. Can you make an appointment with a totally new doctor? One who you can discuss your mental health with when you are comfortable but who isn't going into the meeting already biased by it? I wish you luck! ((Hugs))

You should definitely consider finding a different doctor. My mom experienced something similar to yours and when she decided to find another doctor, that doctor was able to find out what was wrong. Took her quite a while to find the right one and it might be difficult, but I'm hoping that you'll find them. Wishing you all the best!
