False Alarms?

Today in spin class I felt a tiny twinge on the left side of my chest but it left in but a few moments. I wonder if these are warning signs or just benign events.  I intend to ask my cardiologist if he will participate in this blog.  I don't know if I can find the readership to make these entries helpful and more importantly to let others know they are not alone.

I notice when I grip the handlebars when I bike outside or spin inside that my left hand goes numb. I can shake it off quite quickly but I wonder too if that is a side effect of LVH.  I try hard not to grip the handles too tightly,  but to no avail. This might be more related to some circulatory issues that I may be having as I get older and not due to my condition I am not sure. All I know is that I have to start paying better attention to my diet and that extreme exercise will not be the panacea it used to be when I was in my 30's.
