New Pacemaker

Just had a St Jude/Abbott Labs PM-2272 installed 3 weeks ago.

Since installation, I have been getting intermittent shock feelings in the area when the PM was installed.

They feel like a TENS pad type of shock.

Have Dr appt Feb 27

Any comments?

Thanks

Make sure your doctor knows! It might be as simple as adjusting the settings. 

There's a good chance this is just local nerves

One side of the incision over my PM pocket was completely anaesthetic for some months after implantation (presumably some superficial nerves cut or damaged during incision or pocket creation) and I had sharp twinges from the pocket area for many months after implantation.

Best wishes.
