HI
Well come to HCM
Numbness in left hand may not be the pure sign of angina unless it is associated with radiated pain, although you have strong history of ischemia and already treated with stent, so it is better to get done the specific test to rule out the fresh incidence of ischemia, rather than depending on some sign, hope this information helps, take care.
