Pace maker pain...

I have a 2 month old pacemaker that is cauing me pain along the scar and around the outside edge of the divice. Also have a medtronic heart loop. There does not seem to be an infection but just a bothersome pain. Wakes me up, hard to sleep on stomach. Almost like a burning sensation.
I was having syncopes, heart pausing, reasons for PM. Was suppose to correct but it has not and infact the syncopes are getting worse. Today 1 about every hour or so. They are very destressing casuing you to feel week, tired along with the PM pain not a good day. Going to see a neurologist about the syncopes as heart dr. thinks they may be autonomical reactions, something about the vegas nerve. Any one else have any insight about these issues? Thanks, Sandie

I had pain along the scar and edge of the device but it has almost gone away now. Have had my PM 6 weeks or so. It has some movement still but I think once the scar tissue forms around it I will not notice it much. Hoping anyway. I do not have the loop thing so maybe that is the problem. Hope you get an answer.

You know you're wired when...

Your signature looks like an EKG.

My cardiologist is brilliant and after lots of trial and error got me running. I finished this years London Marathon in 3hrs 38 minutes.
