New pacemaker

My husband just had a pacemaker put in January 17,2016. Since then he has been complaint of being so cold. Why would this be?

Adjust and tweak

Just about every PM has to be adjusted, at least once, after being implanted. What are his BP readings ? Was he cold before the procedure ?
Is he cold after doing cardio-exercise ?

Meds?

Was he also put on any meds about the same time?

Some that are used help control heart rate can cause this.

I had always complained of being hot, wouldn't go out in the heat, and never wore long sleeves. BUT, when my cardiologist put me on blood thinner, that all changed. I'm cold most of the time now.

You know you're wired when...

You need to be re-booted each morning.
