Fall from a ladder.

I fell from a ladder approx. 12-15 ft. I do not remember anything from that day. I had my pacemaker checked approx. a year before I fell and when they interigated the pacemaker they said that I had 5 years left on my battery. And I was using it only 29% of the time. Three weeks after the fall my pacemaker started pacing me, whiuch was not normal.

When I went to had the pacemaker checked they could not interigate the pacemaker they said the battery was completly dead. I had the pacemaker changed and I am doing better. Could the internal componets of the pacemaker been damaged if I feel without damaging the case?

Any information could help.

The doctor said that the leads were fine.

Did you damage a lead when you fell? Leads are a lot easier to damage than the pm itself, and a bad lead will kill the battery quickly.

You know you're wired when...

Like the Energizer Bunny, you keep going.
