Just had my pacemaker battery changed after 14 years and was wondering how long do you
have to wait to lift weights again? I did not get my wires changed. Also is it normal for the area around the pacemaker site to be swollen and very tender? I dont remember being this swollen
the first go round. Thanks for any input

Ok if same leads

If the leads are the same and just a simple device change you should be good to go when you feel ready. The area may be sore from the trauma of surgery. See what your doctor says but we only have restrictions if it's new leads.

Swelling

Hi Fritzee - I hope you're feeling well. Can't comment on the weight lifting Q - I think that's up to your provider - but I had a significant amount of swelling upon initial implant a few years ago. It abated over time and all was well, but of course have it checked if you have concerns.
