@cupcake1979 Hi and welcome to connect. I'm sorry to hear you are having some pain from your pacemaker I also had a pacemaker a while back for about 10 years but mine was for fast heart rate called Tachycardia. I would suggest some of the pain is from the initial surgery to put it in. I remember when I first got mine I had to take it easy for a few months while everything healed. Are you feeling better now that a few months have passed? Plus also how it works is different for everyone and can take some time to adjust it for your particular symptoms. If it is still bothering you I would get with your ep cardiologist so they can make adjustments. On the other symptoms your having make sure you tell the doctors so they can be addressed. Good luck and please let us know how you make out.

Have a Blessed Day
Dana

@danab Hi I have had 3 ablations for afib, aflutter and tachycardia over the past 3 years and my EP has mentioned that I may need a pacemaker. Did you have to take high doses of betablockers along with your PM? Also you say you had a PM for ten years.... Sounds like you were able to have it removed, so how did that work?
