Feels like pacemaker has moved

I had my second PM placed with two leads on Jan. 13, 2012. The incision has closed and is healing. I just vomited after dinner, and now my PM feels like it has moved up. I used to feel like the majority of the it was below the incision, now it mostly above the incision. Has anyone experienced their PM moving. My PM is a biotronic, and my old one was a medtronic.

My first PM that I had for a year did not move a lot, but it was smaller. Has anyone had this experience. Should I call my doctor tomorrow. I am just not sure what to do. Any info is appreciated.

I have quite a lot of excess wire at the top of my pm and it moves regularly, not far, but migrates when i sleep and I just push it back in the morning. This is totally fine!!

They did tell me that I had some excess wire after the placement. I talked to my doctor's office this morning and they said the same thing. It is nice to have the reassurance.

It's good to have excess wire

I've had a couple of quite bad falls, and because my wires are quite loose I didnt break them. Also I thrash around now swimming backstroke without any worries!

You know you're wired when...
