first implant

Hi guys! i'm 29 and just got my first pacemaker on tuesday. my chest is super sore (to be expected) but i feel like i have something stuck in my throat! like i swallowed something that didnt go all the way down.did any one feel that too?
my surgery went all right but i was totally awake the whole time and recall the entire implantation including the sound of the laser...ewwww!

Hello there I had my first implant 2 days ago and i remember saying during surgery that it felt like i had something stuck in my throat, I still have the same sensation but not as bad as it was, you are the first person i have read about to have the same problem, how is it now?

My eight year old son had a pacemaker since he was 6 months old. He does very well, plays soccer, baseball, and rides his bike. I am so glad he is not ashamed of his pacemaker. He will proudly show his "battery" to anyone.
