A six year old lead just now got loose?? (making sure I am understanding you correctly) Leads go bad, but it's highly unlikely they'd come loose after this much time. Or did you get a new lead when you had your replacement?

Tracey this is my 2nd pacemaker & like when I got the 1st 1 of them came loose now I am scheduled for surgery again Wednesday morn & I am nervous cause the procedure is a lot more dangerous even though I have 1 of the best DR's so that is a plus
