Four weeks ago I had a dual lead Boston Scientific pacemaker and defibrillator & pace maker installed.  Shortly after the surgery I noticed a sporatic twitching/pulse feel below my left chest pec and a dull throbbing pain at the top of my stomach (note: at times you can actually feel by hand and see the twitch by eye).  A few days following the surgery  they adjusted the voltage on the lead based on my concern.  This change initially lowered both the number andstrength of of occurances.  Although, in the past couple of weeks the frequency has increased again (?)  Prior to lowering the voltage they were able to initiate the thumping/ticking by increasing the voltage so I am prety comfortable knowing the lead/lead voltage it is linked to the twitch/pulse issue.  Additionally, in the same time frame I have begain to experience digestive issues along with constant "bloated feel"  (may or may not be inked).  Having said all of this.... is this "normal"?,  do my symptoms indicate a poorly placed lead that needs to be readjusted (?) I know only a Dr. can diagnose me.... and trust me I am in direct communication with him about this. However, I just wanted to learn what others have experienced.  Thank-you in advance!
