Good Sunday Everyone

So I’m feeling good and I’m starting to get used to my PM.

I do have another question though. Hopefully someone here will know or understand what I’m ralkibg about.

So 95% of the time I can not feel my PM or my leads but sometimes when I lean forward or rest on my left side I can feel the leads in my heart when it beats. It’s not painful but simply a very weird feeling.

The best way I can describe it is if you were to drop a penny in a full water bottle and shake it.

Does anyone else feels this?

Mine Shifted in the beginning

If I bent over it would feel as if a large rock was going to fall out of my chest. The leg curl machine at the gym has your torso facing down on an angle. For months, everytime I got on it...it felt like my device was going to fall out. I could feel it sliding up. I thought the sensation was rather funny once I realized what it was. :-/

But that's just me. lol Nice to hear you are feeling well.

Simple, stick with the missionary position and make your mate get on top

I have had this.

I’ve had my pacemaker since I was five and I tell my doc all the time not to touch the area or put a sticker there and I’m sensitive. Or I think I am my doc said it’s phantom. Because I know my pacemaker there now, I feel what I want to feel even though nothings really happening...but honestly, I know what I feel. Lol it doesn’t hurt or anything, it’s just a different feeling. Once your pacemaker is in for over a year to 3, the tissue will grow around it more and keep it sturdy and you won’t feel like it’s moving around anymore. (I’m on my 3rd one) and I have many more to go in my lifetime. Hope this helps! Good luck!
