Shocks

I am 46 and have had a pacemaker for 9 years. New implant in 2012. Here is my situation, my pacemaker is on the right side with lead cords runnin across my chest to heart. ( veins were to small for leads on left side.) During the past month I have had several minutes of shock like jabs under my right arm. this has happened about 3 times over the month. Anyone else have anything like this?

Shock like jabs

I've had shock like jabs at the incision site while the nerves were knitting back together and that went for about 6 months off and on.

If it is not near/ at your incision site or pocket area, I would call the Doctor.

Others may come along with their experience. I hope you get it solved.

I love this new part of me, and very, very thankful that this technology exists and I know that it's all only going to get better over time.
