So I saw the Cardiologist and he knew I was frustrated right away; he's like I would be frustrated too it's feels like we take one step forward and take three steps back. He wanted yet another Echo since he still hears the murmur doc of course could not hear the murmur he is talking about. I have also been taken off both the diltiazem and Metropolol and I am now on verapamil to see if this works better than the combination of two. He doesn't know what caused the two days of palpitations. I appreciate that he understands my frustration of constantly seeing him and that no medication seems to be working. The Echo of course showed nothing was wrong structurally again so with that no one is concerned with the murmur. Even after coming back to the office and doc telling both M and A were the murmur was they couldn't hear it either. So I honestly think the murmur is nonexistent. I'm still doubting the Cardiologist, I doubt the verapamil is going to work either but then I have no reason to believe it's going to work since the other four Cardiac meds have not worked. However my blood pressure is back to normal which I don't think was med related; but rather weight related I have lost 9 pounds and I am getting closer to getting my BMI out of the overweight range so some of my extra weight could have been causing that issue.
Work was fine M of course about tackled me to the floor when I got back to the office as did R and boss due to their worry. I am still trapped in chart audit and med audit hell. It's just such a big office that it takes a while even with three of us doing them.
At 3:30 I left the office so I could be early for my appointment with the Psych PA who shockingly I liked. I'll post a longer update later about the visit. I really liked him he reminded me of a combo of my therapist, doc, and M so of course I was bound to like a combo of them all. I am now on Seroquel XR 300mg and if it doesn't work or I am to tired he's promised to give me my 200 IR back. I'm still on my Buspar and Prilozec for my Seroquel induced heartburn problem.
Hugs to everyone

So glad you like your psych PA . One less thing to worry about.
Audits are always a blast .... not
