Why not go see a doctor? Can't you manage that without alerting the wife?

Of course, I was going to tackle that this week. It's really more a matter of having the time. Well, that, and the fact that my insurance company would now have the knowledge that I went in to the doctor complaining of chest pains. I'd rather not tip my hand to them if something really is wrong, if you know what I mean.

I do have indigestion/heartburn issues, and you may be right, but this doesn't feel like that. Being out of shape.... well, I'm not exercising regularly (I know, I know) but I can still run a mile or two on a treadmill when I've got the time. I really should be getting back into that again, but again... kinda hard to keep doing it when it starts to hurt.
