Complications

I had my pacemaker fitted last year (June)for a moderate heart block.I was active and played sports, so this came as a shock,
Unfortunately following the implant I developed reactive pericarditis 5 days after implant. This was successfully treated with painkillers and anti-inflammatories. Since last summer the implant site has never settled and has always been moderately uncomfortable.
I play golf a couple of times a week, but afterwards feel tired and the site is sore.
Has anyone else had or having similar problems?

I've had my PM since 3 Dec 2008. My surgery was less than an hour and done by the Dean of the Electrophysiolygy Department.

Two weeks of slight discomfort and I have been playing golf ever since.......

Either you need an adjustment and/or you need to get in better shape to help you with your fatigue.

Best of luck to you,
