Hi. I recently had chest discomfort, left arm and shoulder pain, etc. I went to the heart doc. He did an EKG, and a stress test. Everything normal. I didn't think of it at the time, but I now want to get an echocardiogram. I know some doctors are turned off when a patient dictates proper procedure and tests. But I really want this just at the very least to ease my mind.

I did have an echo 6 months back due to dizziness and it showed minor mitral valve prolapse. So now I'm thinking that I have to convince this doc becasue he just did an echo 6 months back. But now this time I have light headed ness, chest pain, and left arm discomfort, jaw pain, etc.

What is a good way to approach this? What phrases or words can be used to get an echo? What if he says no? I have a follow up visit coming up soon. Thanks.
