swollen neck vein

Hi,
Have had my duel lead pm for 4 months now and have noticed that my neck vein on the side of the pm is swollen. I am feeling good other than this worry.
Does anyone out there have any info with regards to this.
Thanks,

Swollen veins

We've had other reports on this forum about swollen veins on the same side as the PM. I haven't seen any follow-up comments to find out what really happened.

Could be something as simple as a swollen neck after having your PM implanted. In any case I'd call your PM and see if he/she has any comments.

From the previous posts if must not have been serious or we would have had follow up comments. While it may not be immediately life threatening, you should still check it out.

Hope everything continues to go well for you.

My eight year old son had a pacemaker since he was 6 months old. He does very well, plays soccer, baseball, and rides his bike. I am so glad he is not ashamed of his pacemaker. He will proudly show his "battery" to anyone.
