lead problems

I had my pacemaker implanted Oct.23,2008 and ended up in the ER Nov. 2 with severe chest pains. I was put ICU and had to have a lead reattached the next day. At my checkup Aug. 11 this year, my doc sends me for chest x-ray because my #'s were not the same as the 3 month check-up, plus I didn't feel well. Both of my leads had to replaced on Aug.24, seems my PM had slipped. Now, my 3 week check-up, he says my #'s still off, but manageable if all stays same.Have had 3 surgeries in 10 month. Help: Has anyone had this problem?? Haven't felt well since before the first PM.

Lead Problems

Hi Berrybasket.!!!

My name is Pookie and I've had my dual lead pacer since November 2 of 2004. I have experienced exactly what you are going thru!

Instead of my re-writing my story, if you go up to the upper right hand corner you will see the Pulse Newsletter and in that is my story....

uhm....you ended up in the ER on Nov 2nd? Guess that's not a good date for both of us. :)

I wish you all the best and am always here to support you.

Good luck & keep your chin up.

Pookie

A pacemaker completely solved my problem. In fact, it was implanted just 7 weeks ago and I ran a race today, placed first in my age group.
