If you are capable of driving yourself, it’s 90% of the time not worth going to the ER. If it’s actually during working hours and you have a primary care doctor call them first.

I drove myself to the hospital while having a heart attack in 2018. About 45 minutes after I arrived I had a stroke.

That’s insane. If it doesn’t bother you, how did it feel? How long was the drive? What happened afterwards?

I had horrible pain in my back between my shoulder blades. I spent a week in the NCUU ward and 2 years of speech and physical therapy. I have been out of a wheel chair for over 5 years. My left side is partially paralyzed but I can walk pretty well with a cane. I can’t walk a mile for exercise so I take 3 shorter walks adding up to a mile a day on good days. I have plenty of bad days but I am alive and thankful for every day.
