some times after PTCA many patient feel this type of pin prick sensation , no need for worry ,
if your pain increase in intensity after walk or exercise then consult your cardiologist and follow his advice ,
adopt healthy life style ,
eat good ,healthy food ,
do regular exercise , brisk walking , stress relaxing yogas ,
restrict salt intake and fatty food ,
say big NO to any addiction ,
take care
