pulled leads

Can anyone tell me how they know if their leads have moved? I had a pacer placed 2 months ago. I used to feel the ventricle pace occasionally under my breast but recently it feels higher than before. Just wondering how you know if there is a problem. Don't want the doc to think I am paranoid of every little thing.

If you pulled a lead out of place and it's no longer pacing, you will feel like you did before you got the pm. You are probably just feeling the nerves knitting back together but if it gets worse or doesn't go away, ask to be seen. Better to all for nothing than tough it out when something is going on. They are used to it!
