Tingling after stent put in

[sally1959]

Hi, I had a stent fitted 2 days ago and since last night I have had discomfort in my left shoulder and a sort of numb slightly tingly feeling in my arms and across my shoulders. Could this be to do with all the meds I am taking, or just the trauma and my body adjusting. I’ve got no chest discomfort but the feeling in my arms is similar to what I experienced when I had the heart attack. Am I overthinking and just need time?

Hi sally, I too had a stent fitted about 18 months ago now and to this day I get aches and pains in shoulders and tingling in my hands. I think 🤔 it’s the meds ??? Others on here are very knowledgeable so I’m sure you will get far better responses but good to know it’s not just you.

Thank you, nice to get some reassurance from someone who has been through it.

I’m absolutely no authority on anything whereas lots in here do know so much! Sometimes it’s a foreign language to me 🤷‍♀️I speak as a lay person😊I have had pains that send me in to panic, I have muscle pains, I have tingles in hands and I also have major anxiety since all this. I do believe the meds cause most of it as nothing major has ever come of any of the aches and pains 😊
