On May 19th I had a dual chamber Boston Sci. installed . On May 23rd one of the leads loosned & it was reinserted. I had 3 heart block . First off I am on the thin side. But I noticed last week some large veins radiating from the site down my arm. I called my doctor about it they said to come right in for a look. After a brief exam they ordered a ultrasound. They found a blood clot between the site and my shoulder. I was given Eliquis to take . And to make a follow up visit. These are common in about 1 and 50 patients. The point is to know your body and do not be afraid to call your doctor with questions. An untreated blood clot could have been a big problem.

Yesterday was my first day mountain biking after my implant. I wiped out several times and everything is fine. There are sports after pacemakers!

Blood thinners are to prevent blood clots, once you have a clot your own body desloves it not a blood thinner. Eliquis was given to prevent further clots. That is too bad that you got a clot, sounds like whoever installed your pacer was not very good.
