Heart attack question
I had a heart attack 7 weeks ago. Now my left arm is going numb again. Is this normal?
just an update. Tues the 10th I had another heart cath. everything looked good. My doc thinks maybe microvascular disease? I could tiny blood clots in my tiny arteries and veins causing H.A. symptoms. I have nitro now, and did some changes to my medcine. Things are going better, I still get the numbness in my left arm though. It's not as often now.
I did call my doctor, and he wasn't too concerned about it. My BP was good. But had no energy all day. My heart was doing some fluttering too. I was pretty nervous. He had me take 25 more MG of my Motropolol. Now this morning my arm feels better. I still don't really know what's going on.
Thanks for the response!

If your left arm went numb during or prior to a heart attack, I'd think you need to get this evaluated asap. Are you experiencing other symptoms, like high/low blood pressure, breathlessness or a change in energy level?
