My burning chest.

Ok i got my p.m. in Oct 2013. Here we are 3 mos later. N i cant wear a regular shirt ,touch my incision site or get perfume on it . With out excrusaeting pain. Can any tell me if u feel.like your pocket for your pacemaker feels like it burning threw your chest. Im so done with all this i cant take it waking me up in the middle of the nite . And all day . It hurts so bad it makes me cry. And im not a cry baby at all. I went to the dr.and got xrays n checked . They tell me im fine and the p.m. is fine. Well i know that cause its always turning on.....Does anyone else know if this is normal or have this problem. My doc says all people are diffrent. But i honestly feel like i need to go somewhere else cause it hurts so bad. Please let me know if u have ever heard of such a situation as mine. N what can i do.

It should NOT hurt that bad as you described, especially after 3 months. There's definitely something is wrong. You have to go back and insist the EP to take a look again. I can't tell you exactly what you have, but it should not feel like it's "burning through your chest". Something is wrong. Get it check out again asap. I wish you well. Please keep us posted.

Omg u know exactly how i feel. Its so aweful feeling like this . I am such a tough girl . But u r right about the bra it helps cuz i bought a tighter one,and that was a lil relif . I tried iced once but it hurt but at this point im going for it. Asfor being a bus driver you are also right the bounce n shake all day is so terrible,and it probably didnt help.i only took 2 weeks. Off. After surgery. I feel like all the one in a million wrong things always happen to me. : - { . It makes me feel better im not crazy cause i just got back from the E.R. and the gave me xanex . I think they think im crazy to give me those pills. Any ways know i need to go back to my Doctor because the hospital can do nothing for me. And im counting on God my savior. Thanks so.much for your feed back ,and im so sorry you are going threw this too.

You know you're wired when...

You have the perfect reason to show off your chest.

My pacemaker was installed in 1998 and I have not felt better. The mental part is the toughest.
