Pins and needles at night

Hello,

I'm getting pins and needles in my arms every night whilst in bed and not because I'm lying on them. Does anyone else with a heart condition suffer from this?

Thanks.

My husband who had a HE a year ago gets pins and needles in his arms when walking...seems to start after about 15 mins. He’s asked the GP but not got any answers...we are wondering if its a side effect of one of meds( losartan, bisoprydol, statins, aspirin) ....

I get pins and needles in fingers and Arms. I've got Valvular Heart Disease and Angina. Have had a few T.i.a.s.

Don't know if it's anything to do with my Heart Condition though ,because I have Fibromyalgia and sometimes the Fibro can do that to you as well..

If You think you have a problem go and see your G.P and query it. Don't leave it because it could be something to do with your Heart.???

Get it checked out.

Hi

I had an aortic valve replacement carried out in 2018, I started suffering from pins and needles in my arms/hands when I was asleep that woke me up.

Cardiologist wasn’t worried but turned out I jut had a problem with some arthritic vertebrae in my neck that were pushing on a nerve. A couple of visits to the chiropractor sorted it out.

Not saying that that is your issue, but I’ve found I was always looking at my heart op/medication as the reason for any ailment I developed when in fact it wasn’t anything to do with my op etc.

Best to ask your cardio team though, they’re the experts.
