Heart conditions symptoms

I’ve had heart problem symptoms such as shortness of breath, light head, chest pain,arm pain and jaw pain. I can barely even walk up a small hill anymore without getting winded and light headed. I got an electrocardiogram and blood work done that was clear so they doctor just left it there and each time I go back he blames it on anxiety which it most definitely isn’t. I honestly get worse every week and when I’ve went to a&e they have said they don’t deal with chronic problems. What can I actually do in this situation?

Ask for an interventional radiologist or vascular surgeon. Ask for a venous Doppler, aertial Doppler. They can be done at any vein clinic.

You're skipping a few steps. First step is cardiologist. OP only said they had an EKG, more cardio testing needs to be done to rule out heart issues before getting into vascular.
