Pain in chest, head, neck, even teeth!

I NEED HELP! This is for a friend of mine... I was wondering if anyone has had an irritating pain in their chest after the pacemaker implant. The pain starts as the day progresses, going from where the 2 leads are implanted, sometimes going up through the neck, and sharp pains in the head. Even her teeth are hurting! Has anyone had these complications? It's been 2 months today since the implant. She feels 'off'. She is an active woman, playing tennis, and taking care of her health on a regular basis. Her doctor told her nothing was wrong, but I know better than that. Has anyone experienced this? Thank you for reading.

If this is new, she needs to get to the ER.

If it's not new, she needs a new doctor who will pay attention to what she's telling him. I'd ask to start with an xray to make sure the leads are where they're supposed to be and haven't dislodged.

definitely find a new doctor

I can't believe a doctor would write that off! A pm can't magically fix everyone but it should not make her worse.

Thanks cabg patch and tracy e

These symptoms are not new, but they are not getting better. She has good days and bad days, but as the day progresses it gets worse. Her quality of life has gone downhill since the surgery. Hopefully a second opinion will help! THanks again!
