Pacemaker pocket twitching

I see your implant was 1997.

Twitching implies some electricity leak. ? from a lead,? a terminal. In my case I had this due to unipolar circuit. As soon as the EP set up a bipolar lead the twitch stopped- and I was putting up with it thinking it was nervous tension ( sometimes this causes a chest wall twitch).

for a little discussion of the problem

I think you should contact your pacemaker clinic and have a chat!

You know you're wired when...

You have a maintenance schedule just like your car.

In fact after the final "tweaks" of my pacemaker programming at the one year check up it is working so well that I forget I have it.
