PACEMAKER MOVES A LOT

Im fine but I am slightly concerned that when I move my arms the pacemaker moves around a good deal. 3 or 4 inches or up to 10cm. Is this anything to worry about are the leads able to put up with this continuous flexing without breaking.

Peter,

I'm on my fourth device and must say 3, 4 or 10 inches is alot of movement. I recommend you see your doctor. Please keep us informed. Others can learn from your experience.
