See below: Ask your cardiologist. They get referrals from pcps all the time, tend to know them very well, and it's important that they communicate with each other well on your behalf.

Will most pcp test any blood values you request? Or would the patient have to show symptoms? For example could i get B12 and zinc levels checked?
