sweating

As anyone experienced increased sweating after pacemaker implant? Before my pacer implant, I would sweat but not that much. I usually stay on the cold side and when I warmed up it felt nice. I live in South Georgia.
Now when I exercise on the treadmill sweat pours out of me like a Saturday Night Live skit.
Just wondering....it almost seems like my circulation has improved since PacMan was installed.

Your heart is working more efficiently and you are getting a better workout. The sweating when you work out will probably stay the same (that's a good thing! clear out those toxins) but the rest of the time your body will eventually level out.

sweating like a wilda beast

Really Tracey?  I am new have PM 3 weeks after 2 weeks another surgury to reposition lead and after waking up from PM installation i was in severe pain because heart swelled. its been quite the ordeal. Being only 45 i have been a nervous wreak thinking this is going to kill me. Without this forum I dont know where I would be. I have read alot of your posts which has helped so much. I sweat alot from a medication I have been on for years but its been worse since PM installed.

You have the perfect reason to show off your chest.
