OK what is this ?

I had a inhouse pacemaker clinic, the tech said that I had a 5 episodes in the a-fib. Tech said I had sensitivity with my pacemaker, something about a lead. So, what does that mean ? I had a new pacemaker put in 4/29, everything was ok. They tested leads before and during surgery. So whats up ? I am still sore around area and started 6 weeks after doing 3 pound biscep curls. But, didnt move arm above until 6 weeks after.

Don't rely on techs for answers

The pacemaker techs are just that. They fill a need as far as routine checkups and settings, but when there is a problem you need someone who understands the operation of the pacer. Most of the pacer manufacturers have engineering reps available if you request it.
