Good Morning,
I had my first generator change Wed 2/25 (first pacemaker 11/2006). I thought I'd be feeling a lot better and am not. I have a single lead Medtronic for Sick Sinus Stndrome and while it said in Nov it had 3 mos, they found last week it went down to backup minimum end of Dec so haven't felt great the last 2 months.
My doctor had me come in yesterday to check everything. I've been dizzy, short of breath, very fatigued and sore with lots of Afib, Aflutter and PVC's. Seems like everything really stirred up the arrythmias. They said the site looks good and pacemaker working so probably above symptoms from the surgery, drugs, stress ect. Has anyone else had this happen? Any suggestions?
Thanks very much!
