So although it may cost more, the cardiologist will figure out exactly what the deal is & go from there.
Try not to worry too much about it before you get a more thorough workup. Easier said than done, I know. Hey, it could be worse - you could be Canadian. (sorry, Theresa, if you read this comment!)

but the pain in my chest right now has been constant since last Friday/Saturday, But having my right arm become increasingly numb was the LAST straw...It was too much to bare this morning as I waited on Deb to finish her Rad treatment. She drove me to the ER because I was "texas toast".
I feel like ab-so-lute s**t right now...Not to mention the ER Doc is even more concerned about what-the-hell-ever it was that "popped" last week in the right side of my head!!! I thought nothing much of it as I thought it was a muscle cramp, But the ER doc said if I suffer another one of these "pops" I need to IMMEDIATELY come to the ER (She talked to "Doogie Howser" and he is going to setup an MRI scan of my head...I told her "I doubt they would find anything since it is pretty EMPTY up there"!)
