A doctor has provided 1 answer

Must be fullychecked: In a person with a history of coronary disease treated with stents any chest discomfort or l arm discomfort must be taken seriously and evaluated regarding a cardiac cause. While there are many non- cardiac reasons for his l arm to be jumping or having a spasm, none are as potentially serious as the possibility of it relating to new coronary blockages. He must see his md and be evaluated fully.
