Hi,

Just had my PM installed 3 days ago so I'm still very concerned with determining what lifestyle changes must be made. I was unaware of this club and stumbled across it while web surfing.. I'm overjoyed to see the great support available. I'm in the Boston area and would to make contact with nearby members .
Thanks, Art Hersh

 

I am so new I don't have the installation date yet, but I was informed I would have to limit my weight lifting on the side of the implant. Also, mobility would be limited and I shouldn't raise my arm above my head. Anyone have any knowledge about this after the chest implant?

Are there any folk here in Australia who would like to chat?

Best regards to all, and stay well, Michael.

 

It has been two weeks since my pacemaker implant. Almost immediately as I typed in questions this site was always there with re assurance for me
This new experience brings anxieties and fears that others don't understand. Thanks for being so helpful and positive. I look forward to posting questions and getting to know you. My first re check from the hospital is tomorrow. Hoping for only good news. Kim

 

Can anyone help me? I just had my pacemaker implanted here in Dallas this week. Tomorrow it will be one week since the surgery. I am having adjustments problems and just wonder if this is what others experienced.

I have slept on and off for days~but then again I also have had some pain medication Norco 7.5....one tablet as needed every 4 hours for pain. I try and take them only when I have to~rarely did I take the full dosage except for first day or two. I have had none today.

I got up this morning and went walking with my husband for about 20 minutes for the first time...the rest of the day being very well. Then tonight around 8:00, I start experiencing high blood pressure and rapid pulse of 90...Blood press...

 

I had my Defib/Pacemaker implanted in April 2012. I get dizzy easy, and have a bloated/full feeling most of the time.. Sometimes I wish I had NOT had it implanted, felt great before!!!

 

Pacemaker for two years. Now I’ve developed severe shoulder pain from arthritis. Can’t sleep well and do not function well. Lots of pain. Have been told I should not take Ibuprofen w/PM. 
I only take Tylenol which is not very effective. Cortisone shots have not helped. Accupuncture did not help.

Anyone know what kinds of pain medications are safe to take?

Thanks

 

Hi,

I’m two weeks out from my PM implant and still can’t lay flat on my back to sleep. I also can’t lay on my left side as the presure is painful. I do a lot of typing at work and have my arm extended in front of me too long causes pain.

Thank you in advance,
MrsMac
