Itchy Surgery Site

Hi there, I got my pacemaker in July after several episodes of my heart stopping, 3rd degree heart block and bradycardia. I initially had several complications and ended up not being able to go back to work for some time, but things have definately improved. Now, as 4 months have gone by, I am wondering if anyone else has had pretty severe itching at the surgery site. It is driving me crazy....

i too have experienced this.  i have been using 100% extra virgin coconut oil on it daily and it seems to help.

In fact after the final "tweaks" of my pacemaker programming at the one year check up it is working so well that I forget I have it.
