My mom developed a pain down her left arm and in her collar bone and neck yesterday (two days after having her pacemaker rate increased from 70 beats to 80 beats). I told her it could be the sign of a heart attack, but she refused to go to the hospital.She said she'd call her doctor today. Has anyone else experienced this after increasing the heart rate on the pacemaker. Is it serious?
My mom is 84 and had the pacemaker put in a few months ago. Lately she has had problems with SOB and fatigue which is why the doctor increased her heart rate. (All her blood tests were normal). Thanks for your help

At age 20, I will be getting a pacemaker in few weeks along with an SA node ablation. This opportunity may change a five year prognosis into a normal life span! I look forward to being a little old lady with a wicked cane!
