How are you feeling??? I was/am concerned about your chest pain. Please don't ever hesitate to go to the ER. It's always better to go and find out what is wrong versus sitting home and arguing with yourself if you should go in or not. That is what the ER is for and so many times there can be minor complications after pacemaker surgery and it would be best to catch it sooner rather than later.

If I hadn't gone in to the ER 2 days after my initial implant I wouldn't be here today. One of my leads punctured a hole into the heart and the heart sac filled with blood and I coded not once, but twice, and had to have several surgeries to fix it. I'm not trying to frighten you, I'm just hoping that if anyone who just doesn't feel right after ANY type of surgery takes it seriously enough to go to the ER to have themselves checked out...better safe than sorry, eh?

Hoping you are feeling much better today????
