No, you don't. I wear glasses - does that make me an expert on myopia? I have high blood pressure and associated kidney disease, but I'm an expert in neither. The only thing I do know much about is how those things affect me and how in turn they respond to changes I make in my diet and lifestyle. In that regard I probably do know more about how my body reacts than my doctor does, since I live with it and he only sees me for 10 minutes every 6 months or so. What this means in practice is that ongoing treatment is a joint effort by both of us to adjust the strength and types of medication to keep the BP under control (not too high and not too low) and with a minimum of side effects. I could go on, but my point is that you can't expect any doctor to have all the answers, and that finding the best solution is something you may have to help you doctor with.
