Severe weakening

56 yr old. Medtronic Sensia implanted 6 wks ago. Had first tune up last Mon. Was doing fine before tune up, now since tune up, I get tremendous headaches, extremely sore burning in both jaws, bad heartburn with acid in the throat, tightness in the chest. This only happens when I walk around. It all disappears when I rest. Not sure what the Tech rep did but he claimed I would feel even better. Now I'm worried. Has anyone shared this experience? Thanks in advance.

If you were feeling better before, get your settings changed back. Settings are individual, what works for some may not work for others.

You can then start over if you need adjustments or leave well enough alone if you were feeling fine. They usually only change 1 or 2 settings at a time so they can tell what does or doesn't work for you.

Like KAG said, don't wait until your next appointment.

Feel better,

First I'd suggest

that you find out what was changed and why they were made. If you were "fine" before the changes, then why were any made? The only reason to tweak your settings is if you're having problems.

I'd call and get them changed back NOW. No sense waiting and being miserable until your next check.

Also get a copy of your interrogation report, it has all your settings on it. You can then ask specific questions here.

I have a well tuned pacer. I hardly know I have it. I am 76 year old, hike and camp alone in the desert. I have more energy than I have had in a long time. The only problem is my wife wants to have a knob installed so she can turn the pacer down.
