pinching feeling

I am 46 years old female and had a dual chamber CRT put in about 16 weeks ago for a 2nd degree heartblock. Today from outta know where I began getting a pinching  type feeling in my left breast (not to be too graphic) near the nipple area with like a numbish feeling.   It last a few minutes and stopped and then happened again.   Has anyone ever experienced this.  I did return to my per diem work which is working on a Rescue and did do some lifting, which I was told by my doctor would be fine after 12 weeks.   Looking for feedback

Thanks

I am male.  Have had the same problem.  It is infrequent.  I assume it is related to the surgery and damaged nerves.  Will ask my cardiologist next month.

As we get back to being active again, it's normal to aggravate freshly healed scar tissue. If it doesn't go away quickly, try ice.

thank you...as you can imagine my anxiety goes through the roof when I experience things and don't know if it is part of the normal healing process.

You know you're wired when...

You fondly named your implanted buddy.

Try to concentrate on how you’re able to be active again and feel normal, rather than on having a machine stuck in your body.
