VRIBRATING CAUSED BY PACEMAKER

HELLO TO ALL,

I REALLY NEED TO GET A ANSWER TO THIS. I HAVE HAD A PACEMAKER SINCE SEPTEMBER 03, THE FIRST ONE WAS PLACED IN MY LEFT BREAST......

ANYWHO'S AFTER I HAD MY FIRST PACEMAKER PUT IN I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT AT TIMES MY BOOB WOULD VRIBRATE IT SEAMED.

WHEN THEY DONE THE FIRST PACEMAKER SURGEY THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO GET BOTH LEAD TO WORK RIGHT, BECAUSE OF THE OPEN HEART SURGEY I HAD WHEN I WAS A BABY (AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD) SO I ONLY HAD THE ONE LEAD THAT WORKED...

SO I'M NOW WORKING ON MY THIRD PACEMAKER. SINCE 03 THEY HAVE MOVED IT UNDER MY CLONERBONE. I STILL GET THE (VIBRATING) IT IS TO THE PIONT WERE YOU CAN LOOK DOWN AT WATCH IT JUMP, THEN IT WILL STOP, THEN START RIGHT BACK UP. AND JUST AS QUICKLY AS IT STARTS IT ENDS

WHEN IT ENDS IT FEELS LIKE MY HEART HAS STOPED, KNOW I NOW THAT SOUNDS OFF THE WALL.... LOL HOWEVER I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DEAL WITH THIS SINCE MY FIRST PACEMAKER WAS PUT IN WAY BACK IN 03, SINCE THE VIRBRATING HAS STARTED I HAVE BEEN HAVING PANIC ATTACKS (TO THE PIONT OF BEING PUT ON MEDS)

SO IF THERE IS ANYWHO WHO IS GOING THROUGH OR HAS GONE THROUGH THE SAME, PLEASE COMMENT BACK, AT TIMES I THINK IT'S JUST ME, THEN AGAIN AT TIMES I FEEL LIKE I WILL DIE WHEN IT STOPS JUMPING....


CAN ANYONE SHED SOME LIGHT ON WHAT IS GOIN ON?

The most likely cause is the leakage of a pacing signal to an area where it is not wanted. Could be a faulty or cracked pacing lead. It may be due to moving it under your collarbone and this is far more invasive and may have disturbed or damaged some nerve pathways. If there is no cure just think of it as an annoyance.

Good advice PETE ~ very professional ~ cheers ~

TENDERHEART: Please find you a good, professional cardiologist who specializes in PM implants. This sounds like you not only need the attention, but the professional words of a good Dr. and some counseling on why you have had to endure such oddities & pain.

Good luck to ya', Carolyn G. in TEXAS ~ GO UT ! !

You know you're wired when...
