What Causes Involuntary Movement Of Arms And Legs With History Of Having Heart Attack?
My husband is in heart failure and has bouts of cardiac asthma. Has had mild stroke and mild heart attack while in the hospital 6 months ago while they are figuring out that he was in heart failure. No heart problems before besides hypertension. He is being medically managed for his heart failure to see if that will work or to go ahead with a transplant. He has just in the last day developed shaking of his arms and legs, seems to be involuntary. This anything to worry about.
