Check up: My rule is that any questionable sensation above the waist should be checked by a doctor. Don't be frightened, but you are right to be concerned. Your doctor will likely get an ekg and maybe even a stress test. That should free you from worry.

Sleeping odd: When you wake up with the tingling it could be the position that you slept in, and resulting in some compression of the nerve which is now recovering. If it does not resolve after a day or so you could see a neurologist to rule out stroke or other issues, but that is unlikely. 84 is a great age- so celebrate and enjoy it.
