I need help finding a LLMD in new zealand

I have never posted on reddit before but the never ending list of symptoms means I'm desperate. I was bitten by a tick when I was 10 in south Africa and got very sick for two weeks. I'm not sure if south african ticks can cause lyme disease but I am now 22 and am getting symptoms that could be lyme: For years I've had inflamed ribs and a constantly sore chest and migratory joint pain mainly in my wrists. More recently I've been getting: -Constant joint and muscle pain -Tightning chest and shortness of breath -Dizziness and fainting -Anxiety -a deep pain in my leg that feels like dvt or something -weird vision problems like floaters -heart palpitations -de-attachment

I'm constantly anxious about vascular problems but I'm currently training for the NY marathon and am the fittest I've ever been so it doesn't make sense, especially at my age.

So does anyone think it's worth getting tested and know where in NZ I can get help. My doctor pretty much laughed it off when I mentioned it. (Sorry about the rambling)
