Constant hot sweats

Hi there, had my pacemaker fitted 7 weeks ago and I have had constant hot sweats day and night since the procedure. Has anybody else experienced this? Haven't had my first pacemaker check as yet due to the cancellation of my 6 week check up because of the really bad weather so haven't been able to ask the professionals.

Hot Sweats

Erroring on the side of caution, you should go in ASAP and get it looked at. Hot sweats could be a symptom associated with infection. To be clear,  I am not saying that you have an infection; however you should certainly go in tomorrow and have your surgical site evaluated for safety.

I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for pacemakers. I've had mine for 35+ years. I was fainting all of the time and had flat-lined also. I feel very blessed to live in this time of technology.
