Pulled leads???

I had my PM placed last friday March 12. 2 days ago i had a rough time with my kids and got really stressed... i think my arms went flailing..and may have moved wrong...since then i have had pain in my left side (where my PM is) kinda hurts to breath..i dont know what this is...if i should just wait it out, i go see the EP tomorrow for my wound check...or call doc today? Its been 2 days now. UGHHHH. I am getting to a point where I wish I just stayed sick all the time, rather than have all these extra fears :(

Call your doc and tell about the pain and your worries. He can decide what's good for you to do. As you stated: your arms may have moved wrong and it might be just the muscles your're feeling. So don't fear the worst for now!! Will your EP check the pacemaker and an Xray too? I think that's important to be sure leads are still in place. If that's okay, is must be the muscles...
All the best!

if it really hurts then go and consult ur doc. it pays to know why r u feeling such and to have solutions of it for u to relieve from pain..but i dont think wires will b pulled out its place by just mere playing? but if u just had d implant u should take extra care to make used of the changes..but f u mean it was pulled out from d pacemaker..i think its lesser tendency bcoz i do strenuous stuff too but am not feeling anything that hurts until now. i am on my 19years of PM with d age of 35. i work as a media n do extra ordinary stuff but am fine. BUT since u feel pain u really need to go ur doctor as soon as possible:) god bless

If it hurts to breath, you need to be seen.
