I am on day 14 after surgery but it feels like my pm moves around or something. One time I will look at it or feel it to the touch and it is very noticable and then a few hours later it is almost like it isn't even there. It is a Boston Scientific.
Has anyone else ever felt this way?
Sorry if this is a crazy question because it does sound like it to me. Feel silly even asking about it.
Thanks
Tammy

other silly things

I have not felt it move around. I do feel it 'hang' in my skin when I bent over or turn on my right side in bed. Like a littel hammock? I am on day 11 after my surgery. It starts to hurt when bending over for to long a period like folding laundrey. I have made a picture with my phone of my x-ray so I can see the way the pacemaker is placed inside my body. I like to know these things. I think there are no silly questions beacuse it's so unlike anything we have ever encountered :-)
I could swear I could feel my heart beat go up when handling my smartphone. But since my settings were adjusted I haven't felt it. I felt a bit crazy there too.
Thanks

Thank you for not making me feel silly:) I'll try to keep my hands off it too. I think it's became a habit. I feel the same when I bend over. I have been putting my hand over it because it feels weird when I bend over. Guess it's just something in over time we just will get use to.

Yesterday was my first day mountain biking after my implant. I wiped out several times and everything is fine. There are sports after pacemakers!
settling in

It will take a few weeks for it to settle in and scar tissue to build up around it. Until then, try not to touch it.
