palpitations after pacemaker implantation?

Hi,

In October 2010 I had a PM fitted. As soon as the PM was fitted, whilst I'm still on the table, palpitations start. I've never had these before! What follows is 14 months of hell with these palps. Had all the tests, but all seems ok to the doctors. On 4 january 2012 I had the PM & leads removed, BUT I'm still left with the palps. A year has gone by and still I've palps. I feel the cardio doctor may of damaged a nerve etc whilst fitting the PM in 2010. If it wasn't for the palps I'll be normal again.

Any ideas why anyone?

Thank you,

Gary (UK)

Thank you Hope. I got my 2nd opinion, that's why I'm now PM free. Just palps get me down at times. You're right about that sanity part:)
