Been out for a few days...Hi ya'll

Hey there everybody in "electronic" land. I've been out for a few days, and I'm trying to catch up on what's been going on.
I'm a month post implant and have been getting horrible night sweats, chills, and it seems like I can't shake this fever. I got a sinus infection a couple weeks ago. I'm hoping that it's my sinuses and not anything to do with my pacemaker. My doctors haven't even mentioned that, although it's something that's crossed my mind, and is a concern to me.
What do ya'll think I should do?

I think you should see your Dr!

Sometimes a pocket infection is easy to diagnose. The incision area gets red, tender, swollen, ect. Sometimes there is no outward indication, but there are symptoms of fever and not feeling well. Why not go to your Dr. and find out? If your symptoms are not a result of a pocket infection or other infection concerning your pacemaker, then that rules out a potentially serious issue! Don't ever hesitate to insist on being seen! Don't hesitate to tell your Dr. you are concerned that your symptoms could mean there's an infection with your pacemaker! Who cares why he/she doesn't suggest this possibility! It's your health!
Good luck, Bambi
