Had a stent put in last Saturday in my major coronary artery. Today I am experiencing surface numbness in both hands. My BP is 146/75. My blood sugar level is 151. Should I be going to the ER or is this something that can wait until Monday to see my regular cardiologist?
Hello, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to the stent implantation or myocardial ischemia. An electrolyte imbalance could lead to such clinical scenario. I would exclude a stroke, because it is very uncommon for a stroke to affect both hands. If the numbness persists, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam a some tests
