What Causes Chest Pain, Sweating Along With Numbness In Wrist And Jaw?

Hi, I am a 43 year old Male. 2 years ago I had a heart attack, 2 stents inserted into my left artery, six months later I took a stress test, and a cardiologist told me it wasn’t good and I needed to interact, I went to a heart specialist in Boston, they told me my entire right artery was narrowed, up to 80% in some places, they said since it was the entire artery they could put in stents. So they decided to control my situation with medication, 2 years later I have been having chest pains on and off for the 2 years, a few times weekly, I feel weak when exercising, and I sweat excessively with minimal exertion. The chest pain a doctor told me it was unstable angina. but why am i sweating so much, getting knumbness in my left wrist, and jaw frequently. is the sweating caused by my condition, and what treatments can i try

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your all symptoms are due to coronary artery disease (CAD).
You are having triple vessel disease. And this is causing you unstable angina.
This causes tachycardia and sympathetic over activity. This causes sweating and numbness in left arm add hand.
In my opinion, you should consult cardiac surgeon and discuss about need of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG).
This is the only optional for you.
Don't wait for medical treatment, surgical intervention in the form of CABG is needed.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
