Pacemaker Activation

Hi
I had a pacemaker fitted the 1st of December 2010. I had two checkup since. My pacemaker read activation of 250 times on the first reading within 6 weeks, it was reprogrammed and the second reading was then 165, but I was told that this was OK. Did anyone ever experience that. I still have major symptoms, in the last two days I had strange sensation in my chest, headaches, and my teeth. Your comments really appreciated

Other than sensations in your chest the others aren't generally pacemaker related. That doesn't mean that they couldn't be. We've seen all sorts of reports on the site.

I'm not sure what the activation times means. It sounds like the doctor is reading the report and then translating into terms he thinks you can understand.

This brings up the issue of how you are comfortable dealing with your doc. Many of us here insist that we get a full and useful report so we can discuss it with others. There are others who are content to let the doctor handle it don't get involved.
