What Causes Pins And Needles Feeling In Arm/hand After Having Stent Procedure?
Hi , I just had a stent put ib 2 weeks ago , I am now experencing pins and needles feeling in my arm,and hand. I alsonoticed my vision does not seem right , I have mention this to my dr but it was just shruged off. Should I be concerned?
I am 48 years old. I had 1 heart attack last year with no blockages and was told the area healed nicely.
For feeling some pins and needles in your arm don't worry, they will disappear gradually. About vision problems, there shouldn't be any vision problem after the stent implantation, see a ophthalmologist to find out the cause. Take care
