right-side implant = severe heartburn

Warning to left-handed gun shooters: when doc puts pacer on right side mine appears to have irritated esophagus nerve threading the electrode but maintains this pain complication is unknown to the world of medicine so don't expect any help. Immediate severe symptoms under sternum after surgery, does not respond to morphine, just have to wait a year for it to slowly subside, exact same symptoms as heartburn, small amount of relief from nitroglycerin. Completely symptom free 1 year post-surgery, but dreading when it's time for new leads.
