After Pacemaker install

I just had a pacemaker installed January 3 2017. It had not been preplanned but the alternative is not an option.

I just had my newest icd put in in December and I had stomach problems after surgery. Part of it was due to anesthesia and part of it was due to the pain pills. The hospiitals/doctors should suggest people take stool softeners/laxatives after surgery/pain pills to help them through the transition. However if it continues or gets worse call your doctor as AngrySparrow said ...good luck!

THink that it was all of the above. I had eaten pizza & spicy foods so don't think my body up for that. Feeling better today & eating mild foods
