What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Chest Upon Coughing While Having Stents?
I am having asthma attacks, and pins and needle feelings in my chest, arms, and hands. Family has been ill with chest congestion too. So much coughing, all of us but Ive had 2 heart stents placed in last 11 months? Should I just try to stay comfortable and bear with the horrible sensations when coughing or be seen? I haven t had asthma attacks in a few years either... Nevermind I was hoping you could help, I didn t realize there was a fee.

Not a concern. Some nerve might get disturbed while insertion of stents. That causes such sensation. No need to panic.
