pacemaker check up

Just wondering if anyone gets an aching feeling after getting pacemaker checkup? Had PM fitted in June due to heartblock, leads came out 8 days after and had to be repositioned so just had my 3rd pacemaker check and get aching feeling in the heart area after checkup.

I had my ablation/PM implant in 10/09, and I do not remember ever having any of that type of feeling.

I do my own home checking now with a landline telephone and a 'kit' sent home with me from my PM tech. Once every 3 months, my tech will call me, I put on 'wrist bands' and hold a magnet over my PM for 30 seconds everytime the tech asks ~ then we hang up ~ but no aching on my end.

Check with your cardio. office. Keep us posted, please.
