Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain And Heaviness In The Shoulders After A Cardiac Procedure?
I just had 3 stints put in on the 23rd Dec 2016, and have been feeling fine. As of the last few weeks I have been experiencing very acute pain, a heaviness in my shoulders, all the way to my fingertips. I had this pain prior to my heart procedure, and i am worried that it may be heart related. My wife took my pressure at the time and it was fine 130/60
I think it can most probably be related to cervical spine issues like spondylitis. There is a possibility of the pain being of heart origin. You should get checked by a doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Olgeta Xhufka , General & Family Physician
