...noise in the upper chamber gimick, eh!  \

Not surprising.  There's a radio link between you & the Cardio's  offikce.  "Noise" is anything you don't  want to see or hear,  To someone listening for  intergalactic readio signals, the greatest symphony becomes "Noise." 

They probably saw signals that obviously were NOT from the heart , so called them noise.  You were wise to ask for a quicker interrogation.

I’m dealing with that now.  I have a lead in the Atria and one in the ventricle.   I’m pacing 98% in the Atria.  They hear ‘noise’ in that lead.   Now I’m  noticing uncomfortable pacing in the ventricle.

The Medtronic rep said the noise was the atrial lead ‘not pacing’ due to not recognizing the signal to pace.   As a result the ventricular pacing.   I’m in process of getting this sorted out.

Make sure you report any I’ll effects to Dr right away.   

thanks

...for that imformation. im confused..if you are pacing 98% in atrium, how can the atriallead not recognize the signal to pace?  hope you figure it out. i have another interrogation soon but meanwhile my electrophysiologist said they can adjust behavior of lead.......very confusing. good luck. 

Growling noise

A month ago, while reclining I kept hearing "growling" when I exhaled. I captured the sound on my smartphone and let my doctors hear it. One doctor said that occasionally air can get trapped in you PM pocket and make noises. My cardiologist NP and I agreed it was my lung making the growl as I have had a "lovely" bout with Bronchitis most of August and still coughing.
