sensitivity and weird crawly feelings

Hello all,

I called and spoke with my device center. Left message for nurse and haven't heard back yet.

My PM was inserted in April. I live in MN and am outside from usually 11am - 4pm M-F. Today was 23 degrees. I am seriously feeling cold especially on my chest even with 3 layers on.

I have no bra or straps on near the incision. Only a base layer shirt.

Today it felt as if if weird creepy crawly movements were going from bottom of the PM to my collar bone.

I was told that becuase I am small (110lbs) that the pacemaker will bug me more. But this was weird and it is also making pain in my arm pit due to I can fell the rounded edge close.

I really hate complaining. I just want to feel good and all this after pain is really making me want to cry.

Anyone have weird feelings on their chest and around it? They told me I am healing (nerves and muscles) but honestly how long does this go on??

 

thank you for any and all comments.

Becca

If it makes you feel better a simple xray can show that your PM and leads are in the correct place. 

I usually send my EP emails OR I call St Jude Medical and ask them all of my questions. Sometimes I do both to see if I get the same answer

At age 20, I will be getting a pacemaker in few weeks along with an SA node ablation. This opportunity may change a five year prognosis into a normal life span! I look forward to being a little old lady with a wicked cane!
