PCSK9 Drugs, Repatha/Praluent
A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi,
I have been taking the new class of pcsk9 drugs for over a year now, along with a statin, and over the past 9-10 months have experienced chronic tingling in my fingers, reduced circulation in my fingers and feet, and a degree of chronic numbness in the bottom front of my feet, including some of my toes. Anyone else on these drugs and experiencing the same symptoms? If so, what have you done?
