OK I have been going back and forth on this one all day long as what to do. It actually 2 parts as I don't think they are related.
1) On the 29th I had an EMG done and ever since then the calf of my left leg has been hurting. It feels like the muscle is real tight, except is isn't the whole muscle. It is isolated to an area about the size of a grapefruit toward the inside of my leg about 6 inches above my ankle. I don't remember them sticking the pin/needle in any where near that spot. But I do think it was about there that they did some of the nerve conduction shock testing. It also seems to be hurting more each day. Also putting weight on that leg makes it worse. I have been thinking of making the 2 hour trip to the VA hospital this weekend to have it checked out. Or waitng until Monday when I might not have to go through the ER, but get a same day appt with a doctor. I'm not even sure what if anything they could do about it.
2) This has also been happening since the EMG but really don't think it is at all related. About every other morning I am being awakened by the taste of vomit in my mouth and I end up running to the bathroom. I will then spend about 1/2 hour spiiting up very small amounts of vomit (mostly it is dry heaves). I have no neausa during this, no fever, or anything else. Should I go to ER or wait again. Also should I be calling the cardiologist as I am scheduled for a heart cath on the 9th to let them know about this?
