Truly they aren't certain what the trigger is. They are leaning heavily toward a neuro cause, not a heart cause. The think it is a nerve issue, hence the search of my spine. I have suffered PVC's for years that they can't explain either.
Indeed, one side went more than numb. First at about 3am I woke up in bed with my entire left side on fire. Couldn't hardly walk, was seeing stars and was light headed. I tried to walk it off (this was the second time this had happened, the first time, about 4 months ago, was probably the damage they saw in the radiation/stress test), I was sweating profusely, enough to totaly soak a towel I grabbed. I went back to bed and woke the wife and told her something was wrong. About this time it started easing up. So she was toweling me off and I fell back asleep. Scared all heck out of her. I woke up about 30 minutes later with the same thing, my whole left side on fire only this time my armpit and left chest were included in the 'fire'. It only lasted about a minute. At this point wife wanted to call 911, but I talked her out of. Then it happened again, then again. The last time my chest hurt so bad, and my left side was totally useless, so I caved and had her drive me to the hospital. of course by the time I got there, all symptoms were quiet. They didn't mess around, I was in a chair headed for the cardiology floor with 5 minutes of hitting the emergency room door. Then the real fun began. LOL It was the scariest experience I have had, ever!!
Thank you all for the care and concern. What a great bunch of guys.
My best to all of you!!
Mike-- Any day I get out of bed, and the first thing out of my mouth is not a groan, that's going to be a good day --
