Upper arm pain

[Mango78]

I’m 41 and had a heart attack 5 weeks ago and 2 stents few days after. I have a lot of pain in my left upper arm when doing tasks. Is it possible that the blood pressure cuff has done some damage as it was on pretty much permanent for 4 days? The angiogram was done in my right arm and have no problems there! Thanks 😉

It's very early days for you. You will get all sorts of pains and twinges and you will probably think that they are all caused by the surgery. They may be, they may not.

I had my CABGs 20+ years ago. Any pains, twinges, etc. have long since subsided. I only have the scar. Even that has faded and is almost gone. Yours will calm down over time. If you are worried, see your doctor. Don't think that you are unduly bothering them: You have been through a traumatic experience and you need looking after, by yourself and health professionals.
