Dear Gemita, thank you so much for your message. I was feeling pretty low and having someone to talk to helps. I knew right away something was wrong. I kept getting a stabbing pain in my heart. I then developed very small lumps that kept growing and are painful. I get very itchy and then fluid started to build up where it got hard to swallow. I was in the hospital on strong doses of prednisone (I've had to take prednisone again since) it helps somewhat. Fluid is building up even on my bac...

As I have stated before, I have multiple allergies to components in the leads and pacemaker. The vein which contains the leads has collapsed, fluid around my heart, fluid built up on my left side of my body. Polyurethane leads can be put in, but I will still be allergic to the tips or ends of the leads.There was a pouch found in California to put the pacemaker in. All of this would eliminate most of my allergies. Health Canada has refused to let me have the pouch from California. I'm very...

I had a PM implanted about 6 weeks ago. Since it was done I have been experiencing palpertations or fluttering and also some light headedness. I spoke to both my Cardioelectrian and the Cardioligest about this. The surgeon who intalled it said there is nothing wrong and the charts show a good rythm. The Cardioligest had me wear a monitor for 5 days and said it showed everything was good. The thing is I never had this problem before the PM. Has anybody ever...

Didn't even think about it. I'm taking my grandchild to Disneyland. Should I avoid any specific rides. Checked with the doctor's office. All cardiac warnings? Seems severe.

Eight weeks after implant i have been told I have possible lead displacment, as a result I have a 1.7 difference in the readings of the two leads, can someone please tell me what the 1.7 reading is? As a result I have also been told that Ihave consumed an estimated 71/2 years of battery popwer. When sitting down or lying in bed (at rest) as the call it I get Heart pausing and chest pains, I have found the only way to start a regular Heart rythen is to stand up and walk about or get...

I am writing this account of a pacemaker infection as a patient because they are rare and because there may not be a written account from a patient, in the hope it may help in the understanding and treatment of the problem.
I am a 73 year single old male who had a myocardial infarction 15 years ago with angioplasty and two coated stents. Last November 7 I came down with what I thought was a bad case of ‘flu which lasted for three weeks. On a Saturday evening I went to the hospital...

My pacemaker placement was April 2019. Surgeon was behind schedule, I woke up during surgery and Fentanyl does not work on me. Lots of pain because one of the leads was not attacked properly so I know how it feels to be tazed from the inside. Second surgery the following day to attach lead in correct place.
I can not walk fast anymore without becoming light headed. I was told by PA that is my life now. Adjust. I am being mildly shocked on a daily basis which I was also t...
Blood clots

I have developed two blood clots, one in the subclavian vein and one in the inner jugular vein. They are causing my left arm to be discolored, swollen and some pain. PM was implanted a little over a year ago along with a follow up av node Ablation. The PM needs to be moved as it repositioned itself too close to my arm. But at this point that is secondary to treating the blood clot problem. Scary. Anyone else had to deal with blood clots?

I am 3 mos. post pacemaker and most days feeling miserable. Symptoms include headache, dizziness/lightheaded, fatigue, sometimes rapid heartbeat. My electrophysiologists says my numbers are great and he is not listening to my symptoms. I think this must be a pacing problem. I have been reading about Pacemaker syndrome, which includes all of these symptoms. Has anyone had a similar experience? I am very discouraged and getting depressed.
