Why Does My Grand Mother's Hand Pull After Angioplasty?
SIR/MADAM,
MY GRANDMOTHER GOT ANGIOPLASTY ON 30-08-10 AT GUNTUR (A.P) AND ARRANGED STUNT, FROM THAT DATE ONWARDS WE WENT TO THE DOCTOR ONCE IN A MONTH FOR MEDICAL CHECK-UP. SHE IS SUGAR & B.P PATIENT . MEAN WHILE AT THE NIGHT TIME, NOW & THEN LEFT HAND WILL PULL i.e, IT IS ONLY NIGHT TIME AFTER THE TIFFIN IS OVER.
WE REQUEST U TO INFORM WHETHER THE STUNT IS SET RIGHT OR NOT.
Hello thanks for writing back, I would suggest you not to panic this is not due to any problem in stent, if there is problem in stent is causes decreased blood supply to heart muscles and the patient gets heart pain there is no effect on the muscles of arms , and there is no sensation of pulling , in my opinion your grandmother seems to have been putting pressure on her left arm while sleeping that is why she is having spasms in the arm.
I would suggest you to not to panic just start physiotherapy for her muscle spasm everything should be fine.
Best Regards. Dr.Muhammad Ahmad
