Placed Stent After Heart Attack, Blood Pressure Low, Numbness In Arm, Chest. Should I Be Concerned?

On Aug. 25th I had a small heart attack, the next day they placed a stent in one of my arteries. I went to my regular Physician, and was told my blood pressure was way too low, and she took me off a couple of the heart meds, as they reduced blood pressure. I am still having numbness in my left arm, chest pressure, neck feels like it is being squeezed and I have sweat for sometimes no reasons. I do not want to go to Er, but thought to go back to my regular VA Doctor on Monday. I need to find out what is going on, and wonder if I should be more then a little concerned.

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

You need to be investigated – block in the stent / or progression of disease in the native vessel is highly likely.
See a cardiologist again.

Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
Good luck
