So my husband had the pacemaker surgery 2 years ago in May and ever since then the site in his chest has been very uncomfortable for him. Mostly when trying to sleep, he can't find a position that doesn't hurt 🙁 any suggestions?

Sleeping with the pm

I sleep every night with a firm square pillow (read decorator one) and drape one arm over it. I actually have 2 pillows so when I turn over I don’t have to take the pillow with me. I’m a side sleeper so basically I’m hugging the pillow all night. Works for me Best wishes for a good night sleep!

Don't give up hope! It took me a good 1.5 - 2 years to be able to sleep comfortably with my pacemaker. Now I can sleep on my left & right sides most nights without thinking too much that I even have the device. Also, as stated above, hugging a pillow was my greatest help when it did bother me. Best wishes for a good nights rest & continued healing!

I consider my device to be so reliable, that I never think about a failure.
