New CRT-P

Thursday, I had my 20 month old Pacemaker replaced with CRT-P.  I am coming up on 48 hours with new Pacemaker and so far not enjoying it.  My resting heart rate has been in high 90’s with going up to 120 with a slow walk.  My PVC’s are just about constant.  I do not know if this is just my heart adjusting, are the settings all wrong or should I go to Emergency.  Any of you smart people out there have some experience with this?

I also have a CRT-P.  Your symptoms sound bad enough that you should get back to the clinic that did your implant so they can re-assess the settings on your device.  It took 2 or 3 tries after my CRT-P implant over a period of a week for them to get it dialed in.  Good luck!

In fact after the final "tweaks" of my pacemaker programming at the one year check up it is working so well that I forget I have it.
