I may be nuts but I recently started to feel my pulse where the lead enters the vein near my clavicle. I can feel it when I lay still or put my finger on what feels almost like a plastic clamp right where the lead enters the vein. Is this normal? I've just never noticed it before. I find if I change arm positions it goes away. The area is a little irritated from being in a hard shell brace after back surgery. They fitted the brace with room for the PM but it shifts when I walk and rubs on the site. I guess I'm a little concerned that the hard brace rubbing on the lead may have caused a problem. I would think if there is a problem with a lead I would go below my minimum setting which I'm not. I've felt crappy lately with SOB, fatigue, and lots of palp's but I don't think they ever put me back to my original settings after surgery. The rep left before I went into surgery and I was too medicated by time I left the hospital to even ask if he ever came back. Based on how I feel I would say they never came back.
Any thoughts? Am I just nuts as usual?
