Pacemaker symptoms

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone else had experienced similar experiences to mine. A couple of day's ago I started experiencing a tingling prickly sensation down my left breast and under the left arm, it is not painful at all more weird and I would be grateful if other folks with a pacemaker have experienced similar symptoms. My pacemaker was fitted Sept 2017.

From time to time (on second ICD), if I have my arms folded across or lying on left side, I have had very brief, prickly sensations relieved by changing positions.  The cause could or not be related, so check with your medical care to be safe and have peace of mind.

Thanks so much for your comment hopeful heart, I will see if it carries on I will certanly give the Doctor a ring, just hate bothering them if it is just a blip and will pass.

I do get a tingling/numbing sensation on my left arm except it typically starts at my deltoid hits various parts of my forearm and hand. Very annoying doctor says maybe a nerve got hit at some point from IV.

Thanks IV for your feedback, it is helpful to know I'm not alone with this problem.

The pacer systems are really very reliable. The main problem is the incompetent programming of them. If yours is working well for you, get on with life and enjoy it. You probably are more at risk of problems with a valve job than the pacer.
