They most likely said its' better to be safe than sorry but you'll be sorry once you see your hospital bill if you went to the e.r. and it was gas or something minor. I get those symptoms all the time. With ms, I just stop what I am doing and take a breather. I get my annual wellness visit since it is free and I get $50 for going. I think prevention is the best answer. Unfortunately medicine is not an exact science.
