enlarged ventricles

I starting having problems about 3 years ago with trouble breathin upon exertion and heart palpitations. I have done the holter monitor and ekg, echocardiogram. whatever the cardiologist found I'm not sure but he put me on Toprol 100mg a-day. Plus Paxil for anxiety. My blood pressure had gone up over the next year so they added atenenol and norvasc. then they added lasix and finally the last year nitro. I've been admitted twice since then for possible heart attack. I have alot of problems with angina. Recently i went to the hospital and they did another echo and ekg and they said my left and right ventricles are enlarged and heart muscle has gotten larger. I have no insurance and am having a hard time finding someone to help me. they just observe me for 24 hours and tell me i need to see a cardiologist. But i can't seem to see one unless i have a refferal from a physician. PLEASE HELP ME IF SOMEONE HAS ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THESE SYMPTOMS OR MIGHT KNOW WHERE I CAN GET HELP!!!
