Pacemaker

First pacemaker insertion in April.  Leads came dislodged, had to have them reinserted 10 days later.  After that I have a feeling of another beating heart on my right side.  I have dual leads.  Cardiologist reply is, “interesting “!  Anyone else have this feeling?

Extra beats

I was bothered by the feeling of extra beats (on the left side by my diaphragm) after implantation.  The device technician was able to adjust the leads -- apparently stimulating the phrenic nerve.  No problem since.
