What Causes Intermittent Tingling All Over The Body Post Placement Of Heart Catheter?
My husband is 75 yrs old. He had a heart cath 2 weeks ago. Found 75% blockage in one vessel, and 30% in several others. Cardiologist put him on Renexa 2 weeks ago,bid and Pravastatin af few days ago. Started him on Cardiac Rehab which he started this past week. This afternoon he has mentioned that he feels tingly all over and it comes and goes. Checked his bp and it was higher than normal but has since come down. Is this something we need to have checked this evening or can it wait? He is not dehydrated, and has eaten normally today. Thank you for your help.

Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the symptoms of tingling sensation is not due to any cardiac disease but it could be nonspecific it is not necessary to consult the cardiologist, regular follow up is necessary and it it not being done then better to consult the cardiologist, continue the given medicine as it is and no need to worry about this, hope this information helps.
