How about calling your GP and see what they reccomend? Maybe you can pop in for a quick EKG, at least it would give you piece of mind. I would do that long before I think of going to an ER.

Hope your feeling better soon
Thans very much, Christina. Yeah, heart rate is low, as usual, normal sinus rhythm. Nothing in my jaw, but I do have to honestly admit that, last night, I definitely was feeling some weird tingling and numbness in my left wrist and hand. No doubt about it. That has gone away.

You're right. I should stop trying to do this myself. I am the patient. I'll call. Probably do need an EKG, at the very least. Just because I can ride my bike 100 miles doesn't really mean a thing. Heart disease is everywhere.
