weight loss

I have lost weight on purpose right now around 85lbs. Sometimes when I sleep on my right side the pacemaker moves it flips over I dont feel it until I go to sit up and it flips back. Anyone ever heard of this? The Dr. sent me for a chest xray and will see me in a couple weeks.

Weight loss?

Can I ask why you lost so much weight? 85 lbs seems like a very low weight. zokkm

Sometimes after a lot of weight loss, the pm needs to be repositioned.

thanks

I needs to lose weight because I was having a hard time getting around couldnt do things I needsed to do. I have an appt with the doc next week not sure if I will keep it I saw my xray and the pacemaker looks just fine I think I can live with pacemaker flipping every once in awhile its not harming anything. If it gets too bothersome I will see doc> I dont want to go and him tell me nothing which more than likely is the case.
