I currently have a stent in the LAD. IT was placed there in 2003. I am currently taking the following medications: Levoxyl 75 MG, Topeeral 50 MG, Enalapril 5MG, Protonix 40 MG, ASA 325 daily, CQ10 150 MG, Lovaza (omega-3-acid ethyl esters) 1GM 2 tablits a day.

1st problem, I feel like I want to passout several times a day. My blood pressure has been a little high lately 130-150 over 90-110. I just feel like **** all of the time.

2nd problem. 4 weeks ago I started having problems in my left elbow and down to my wrist, My doctor
thought it may be tennis elbow and gave me a cortasom shot, all it did was give me a headach and some relife 3 day later but the pain is back with a vengance and now I am starting to get the same pain in my right arm. I place an arm band above the elbow and it help more then as if I had it on my for arm. If I hold my arm at a 45 degee angle for any period of time I suffer a lot of pain trying to strighten it out and that is with either arm. Now my neck is starting to get stiff and I feel exhusted all of the time. Seems I have to sleep a lot more.

3rd. Yester day just about 15 minutes after eating a poptart I was relaxing to kicked my feet and legs level with my stomch. All of a sudden I got this really bad pain and just to the right of my stearnum where ti gullblater resides I had a big bulg appear I mean lietely pop out of my stomuch about a 1/2inch high and about the size of a baseball. I quickly sat up and the pain started to reside and wend doen after about 5 min. I have told my doctor that everyonce in a while when I dring something the liquid will get stuck and I can make it bounce and sound like waves for about 2 to 3 day. When this happens I always have pain and feel sick.

Where is your stent located? In the heart area or in your neck area of the artery?
may not matter but I was just wondering about the location.

#2 problem
the arm, neck pain could be from repetitive strain injuries {RSI} {tennis elbow type} or possibly thoracic outlet syndrome {TOS} {muscle spasms and triggerpoints in the neck, upper back, shoulders, sometimes even the chest}, cervical spine neck issues, or it could be any mix of things but these are what came to me from what you wrote.

We have a TOS forum where you can learn more and a subforum there for RSI.

Do you think everything is related or could it be a couple separate issues?
