trying not to freak out....

So, Dan went to the doctor today to see if his hand was maybe broken since it's been pretty sore and swollen after injuring it playing softball 2 weeks ago. The doctor says his hand is just bruised, but sends him to cardiology immediately for an EKG. He is concerned about his heart rate being significantly slower than it should be. We don't know what the results of the EKG are, but he is supposed to go in Monday morning for bloodwork and to pick up a heart monitor that he will wear for 24 hours. The dr says he suspects some artery clogging going on.

It's weird because Dan is pretty athletic and healthy, I would say. He's been working out quite regularly since I've ever known him (13 years now) and he eats pretty well. He runs at least 15 miles a week and lifts weights the other days. Throw in regular Friday night softball games too....
It's really bugging me that he is not willing to slow down, just a little until after the tests. I'm really afraid that something will happen while we are out running. We ran 4 miles tonight, instead of our usual 5 and he struggled...even at one point saying that he was feeling queasy. Grrrr. Men. He insists there's no problem because a) heart disease at a young age doesn't happen in his family and b) the doctor didn't say anything about slowing down.
Maybe not, but I'd really prefer he didn't push himself so hard...
