After last night's scare (chest pain precipitated by rushing for a bus, lasting over 20 minutes radiating into my neck - took 3 doses of GTN to clear) I've had no pain today. I think the diltiazem is helping.
Do I dare do a very light gym workout tomorrow? If not, when do you think? Any ideas?

Going to the gym is a great habit that will usually help you live a long and healthy life. One of the side effects of joining the gym and immersing yourself into the world of dedicated workout regimens is that it becomes rather addictive, however, to the point that you're desperate to get back to the gym ASAP even when you have had a potentially serious health scare.
If you're over-exercising, it's even possible your symptoms were CAUSED by that. You could also be dealing with any number of health issues, however. Any sane person would not go back to the gym until all relevant tests were run and their healthcare provider gave them the green light.
