Hi all:
A newbie here.

I received my 1st PM just a couple of months ago. Had a syncope episode and they are able to see conduction issues with EKG. During a heart cath the electro-physiologist checked it out and there are no blockages, no clogging, no damage, etc. I am 45+ yo male. I have been active and used to be a hard core athlete thus my resting heart rate is typically in the 50s, sometimes lower. I was unaware of any problems before hand, no SOB, dizziness, LOC, etc. After the implant I feel no different except now I have a lump in my chest just below my L clavicle. I do have a nagging pain in my L shoulder now. I'm thinking muscles are sore and need to relax over time. I have started swimming again and the pain can become intense while rotating my L arm. Most of the time it is just a nag. I am not too concerned about it now but I am looking for some feedback.
Many thanks
