I am 57 and have a pacemaker for SVT. I have been having some issues for a few months and attributed it to pacemaker battery going down (will need to be replaced this year, in Jan. had 9-15 months left). Not so sure anymore and due to no insurance since 2009 have no regular cardiologist.

Symptoms – fullness in throat, headache, pain between shoulder blades, fluttering feeling maybe a pressure/tightness but hard to describe in my chest, sorta like I felt prior to PM.

I have been to ER just Thursday and they said no heart attack as blood tests were fine. Before that went to a family doctor and she sent me to the ER after listening and doing a ECG that stated abnormal.

I ask my PM doctor and was told it did not work like that and I shouldn't be able to feel it - input appreciated.
