Is Pain And Tingling Sensation In Arm Normal Post Placement Of Heart Stent?
I had a stent put in one of my arteries 3 weeks ago and for the past 2 days have been having pain and tingling in my left arm and fingers. I am not scheduled to do a follow up appointment for 5 more weeks. It this normal or should I go to the emergency room?

Hello
This could be cardiac pain referred to your left arm, but more than likely it a disc rupture in your neck compressing a nerve root.
Since it could be cardiac I'd suggest you do get evaluated in an emergency room
