Specializes in Cardiology

Merits evaluation.: If your symptoms persist, they merit a careful evaluation, including taking your history, examining you and performing routine and special blood tests. Hormonal and neuroendocrine causes should be considered in trying to determine the underlying problem and deciding upon the proper treatment.
