dear patient,
Thanks for your health concerns. The symptoms that you refer to would be atypical for a cardiovascular condition such as high blood pressure, heart failure; sometimes, as a consequence of stroke, patients may end up with spasticity (rigid muscles), pain, or abnormal sensations such as tingling. I would advise you to see a neurologist to see if the symptoms are related to your prior event and if specific treatment for those symptoms is an option.
Hope this is useful, wish you the best health,
