some discomfort

Hi,
I received my PM March 2015. Sometimes still I experience some discomfort just below where the PM is inserted. I experience discomfort under the left breast and in the back by my left shoulder blade. Has this happened to anyone experienced this? When this happens it upsets me so much I usually take a Xanax to try to relax.
Emotionally having the PM is very upsetting to me even though knowing my father had one for years and never had any problems.
I was told after a few months I would not even think about having one, but I think about it everyday. I'm very active and it makes me feel old having one.

hi. I have had the same symptom that you had.. it left shoulder blade hurts so much. I now have a keloid where I was cut at for my pacemaker that also hurt. it was very depressing for me. I am now on Xanax for anxiety.I STILL CRY FROM TIME TO TIME I AM 42 WITH A PACEMAKER.. I hope things get better for both of us and everyone else on here.

Thank you Cassandra

Sometimes when I describe symptons to the technician, he looks at me like he's never heard of it before.
