PM Vibrating!!

I had my (2nd) Pace Maker since Feb 2008. I began feeling a 2 to 3 second vibration around the PM area. At first I thought it wasn't coming from the PM but now I feel it is. All I feel is a vibration and nothing else. No pain, etc. Is there anyone who has experienced this problem? What was the problem and how was the it resolved? I made an appt to see my cardiologist and the individual who checks my PM out in 5 days. My cardiologist says he feels it isn't "urgent" to see me immediately so therefore the 5 day wait for the appt. As for the individual who will checks my PM they say "he is a busy man". Well, isn't my life important too! I've had the same doctors since 1998 and am disturbed how they are reacting to my issue. Like to hear from anyone regarding the "vibration".

Your life is important and if this doctor doesn't agree, there are others. As to the vibration, I am almost two years with the pm. and just recently got minor tinglies like vibrations in my neck and shoulder above the pm. So I will be contacting my very good doctor who asks how many questions I can give him. He says 102 is the most questions asked at one time by any patient. hmm. I am not sure I believe him. My record is 11.
I have read other posts that mention vibrations and they don't seem to think it is serious. Ann

Vibration - PM

Hi Ann, what a surprise to get an response so soon! Thanks. I hope I made my message clear enough.

I read that others were feeling their vibrations away from the PM. I am feeling my vibration right at the location of the PM so it has to be coming from it.

I had my first PM for 9 years with no problems. My 2nd PM is 2 1/2 yrs old and should last about 12 yrs. I have a technician who really knows how to fine tune my PM and get the most (years) out of it. I made an appointment for this coming week to have him check out the PM. I hope he can correct the problem. Thanks again for your reply.

Me too!!!

But I think it will make me feel a lot better. My stamina to walk is already better, even right after surgery. They had me walk all around the floor before they would release me. I did so without being exhausted and winded the way I had been.
