Are Pricking Heart Sensations After A Quadruple Bypass Procedure A Concern?
Hi * years ago I had a quadruple by-pass and have been fine apart from a shortness of breath after exercise or a walk. I am down for a pacemaker/defibulater but this last week I have experienced more and more pins and needles sensation in my heart area. Should I worry? Regards Allan

Hi,
Sometimes surgery in the area of heart and chest wall damages small nerves of that area which leads to pin n prick sensations. It is not going to harm you. No need to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
