Here I am again with ??

I know you folks are getting tired of hearing from me, but there always seems to be something.

Does anyone have problems laying on their side. I think I mentioned that I get a stabbing type sensation on my left side, but I tried to stay over on it for a few minutes last night. I started feeling the irregular beats (PAC or PVC type sensations).

Thanks again for your help.

call

You should call with any kind of chest pain. Odds are good it's just part of healing, but as hurtheart said, you never know and better safe than sorry. It's rare but possible a lead is shifting when you are on your side. Or it could just be part of healing! My incision is on my side, it takes months after a replacement before I can comfortably sleep on my side again.

Uncomfortable Feeling

When I try to sleep on my left side I get a light knock from my ICD and when it's bad I have to move. So most of the time I have to sleep on my back or right side. Even when I lean against a lamp post or wall I will still get the light knocks from inside. Have asked about that but they really don't know. And I have had the ICD device since 2004 and still suffer the knocks.

You know you're wired when...

Muggers want your ICD, not your wallet.

Sometimes a device must be tuned a few times before it is right. My cardiologist said it is like fine tuning a car.
