Cold foot?

[debster913]

One more thing I forgot to mention--my right foot has felt like an ice cube periodically the past couple weeks. I even had my hubby compare the warmth of my feet, and my right is the only one that's ice cold. He thinks it might be poor circulation because I had the heart-lung machine port in my femoral artery in my right leg, but that was eight months ago! Is this worth mentoning to my cardio and/or his nurse practitioner?

Thanks again,
Debi

if you are taking atenolol, that might be a source to check.

Definitely should mention it to a doctor - either cardio or PCP.

One week into my recovery in the hospital, my left thigh area became ice cold, the head nurse called the doc. It was decided that it was a nerve close to the surface that probably had been picnched. It took several hours to go back to normal. I still, nine months later, have the same sensation in my thigh and sometimes in my foot
