Numb hands and fingers

I had three stents put in my heart almost two years ago. I take high blood pressure meds, heart meds, blood thinners and pain meds for a past severe injury. Over the past few days I havent been feeling very good and my left arm is going numb all the way down to my fingers and my fingers (middle, ring and pinky) are turning white and sometimes it happens on both hands at the same time. Can this be realated to my arteries?

There could be blood clots that impede a good circulation of blood to subject areas.  It could be neurological based, your current medication....You should bring the matter to the attention of your doctor.  

Take care,
