Look, you've gotten lots of opinions to take. Do what is right for you. I feel a standard littman that you can hear breath sounds well with and heart sounds well with will do you fine, no need to spend lots of cash if you are struggling right now.
My dad has a congenital heart defect and he goes into atrial fibrillation on a whim. He also had a stroke last year--hey, he's getting old. Point is that I've been to the ER probably 10 times in the last few years and I've seen a lot of doctors. When I meet an ER doc that can "tell what's wrong by looking at him", that come across as jaded, rushed, and apathetic.

My $0.02.
