first checkup tomorrow

Well, tomorrow is my first checkup with my Dr. since getting my PM. I assume he will do some adjustments on this hunk of Titanium in my chest. I don’t know how they do the adjustment but I’m kind of looking forward to it. Hopefully I won’t be as tired after he makes the changes. I’ve found that I have more energy when I get home from work since the PM. But I also find that I feel like taking a nap more often than I used to, since getting the PM. I don’t know of it is because of the PM or maybe due to some of the Meds.

Does anyone else get some pain after checking your blood pressure? It’s a sharp pain but not real intense. I’ve tried taking it on both arms with the same results. Will this go away with time? Or is this caused by something else? It last about a day or two.

Thanks to all of you, for being so helpful since I’ve been on this site (about three weeks). It's been a real help to me, thank you all again.

check ups are easy

Did they adjust your pm while you were still in the hospital? It's fast and easy! They have a thing that looks like a computer mouse that they lay over top of your device. It's hooked to their computer. They mess with it, sometimes you'll feel it. I think it feels like when an elevator comes to a stop, but everyone describes it differently. It's not uncomfortable, just a little weird for a few seconds.

Ask for a copy of your before and after reports so the guys here can help you figure out what they changed.

Pain taking BP

There isn't any reason for having pain taking your BP that I know of other than possibly you are sitting in an awkward position that puts some stress on the incision site.
