A member asked:

Stent put it after heart attack but after 3 months still getting pins and needles in left arm right down to thumb?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to examine: If you had a heart attack at the age of 27, you are an exception to the usual pattern of heart disease. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Wish you good health!
