I need specifics, not generalities, please.

I am seeing my GP in a week and need to get the jargon down to force
the issue.  My medical history is type II diabedies, controlled with
meds and diet, 5 abdominal ops (2 cancer), general good health.  No
treatments for heart other than what I am talking about.  Echos show a
slightly enlarged heart, and stress test (4!) show nothing
"interesting."

Over the past 8 years, 3 separate times I have found myself with
"someone sitting on my chest", and unable to feel my pulse.  Getting to
the hospital, the PB was very low, and rate was over 150.  The first
two times, they pushed something and the symptoms went away.  Blood
tests negative for heart damage, no stroke or attack. I went to the
recommended Cardiac specialist who did echos, stresses, and came up
with .....nothing....

Last winter, it happened again, and the ER was more proactive, they
pushed a med that "stops and restarts your heart."  The "cure" was
immediate, though very uncomfortable.  The ER doc warned me that I
should not depend on a "plumber" but find a specialist who "only does
electricals."  I reported that back to my GP who sent me to a plumber
who "discovered" that I had a slightly enlarged heart for $3000. (duh!)
Final insult:  The GP did not know the med, or the procedure, and will
not call the ER and get the records, and of course, I did not get the
chart, after all, I am the patient.  (My dogs get better Doc
coordination!!!!! write me e-mail,and I will give examples, but please
not here!)

Here are the questions:
1. technical name for the condition I get
2. technical name for the med pushed (most likely one)
3. technical name for types of tests needed
4. technical name for the Cardiac Sub-speciality
5. how to find such a person, what do I ask?
6. URLs for any/all of the above

Obviously, I am looking to force a referral, as the GP does not even
know how I was "brought back" and keeps on sending me to "plumbers."

I have 4 days.

thanks!
