BLOATING SENDSTION

Hi,

I have a question if anyone could help?.

Does anyone have or hsve had a bloating sensation in the diaphram or solar.plexis area and if so is this likely to be a PM.lead.that has moved.

I keep getting this.feeling / sensation.which doesn't give me.shortness of breath, pain or enhanced heart rate but is a worry.

I have discussed this with my doctor.and.there isn't a concern; the PM is working fine.

Any experiences.or advice.would be welcome.

Maybe Something Besides Your PM

When my ventricular lead refused to auger into the heart wall because of previous scarring it dropped down and began pacing my diaphragm. It felt exactly like a finger being flicked against the inside of my lower ribcage with every pulse.

At the EP's it was immediately obvious to the tech interrogating my PM that much was amiss. I was able to have lead revision surgery that same afternoon.

I'm only dimly aware of what else may be a cause for your sensation but the candidates are numerous: vagsovagal presyncope, esophagitis, pulmonary hypertension.... etc..

Have you spoken to your cardiologist (plumber) as well as to your EP (electrician)?

There could be a lead issue that is causing pericarditis.  I had the same bloating sensation and lost 8 pounds because I always felt so full that I could not eat.  It took me 8 weeks of complaining but when my legs started to swell EP decided to do the revision.  Good luck.

Muggers want your ICD, not your wallet.
