First Dual lead PM check up

First PM check up today at 4 weeks post op due to a couple of settling in problems. My pm is doing a great job and i've decided to call mine Precious:). I am pacing100% in the top main lead,
I had been getting a wee flutter feeling and I could feel a pulsing now and again in my left ribs which I was told today was because my lower lead was set really high in surgery (which apparently is normal to see how you go in the first weeks) They lowered it slightly today.( Theknotguy on here was right about that)
Only 4 weeks in and i'm doing brilliant.
My blood pressure keeps dropping which has makes me a bit dizzy sometimes but the technician today said the surgeon will see the report and hope to try reduce the Verapamil slightly to see if that might help so fingers crossed

Hang in there. Looks like you're doing good for the 4 week period. At least you're doing a lot better than I was.

Don't forget to get a copy of your PM report.

Hope everything continues to go well.

thanks
