Lead moved after 5 years!

hello i had a 3 lead pm fitted June 08, started to get a twitch , they have turned the lead off........ As its a massive job to try and remove! I am now suffering from.... Very poor circulation, breathless , tired all the time , slow response when I need it..... A weird feeling on going over a hump back bridge and my chest feeling weired, but the most freighting thing is I feel like my heart keeps cramping !

HELP!

extraction?

Have they said what they're going to do? Sounds like you need the lead to be pacing. Extraction of existing leads has come a long way in the last few years. The laser sheaths that they use are more sophisticated and the number of experienced drs has grown. While it's not easy and you want to be sure to get an experienced surgeon, it's no longer considered high risk surgery. Good luck!

It's more likely it went bad than it moved.

You prefer rechargeable batteries.
