@jc76 I did go in two weeks after my surgery and they made some adjustments and I had one telehealth visit after that, but I haven’t seen anybody since then I saw my cardiologist for my regular six months check up and he kinda laughed and said you really don’t like this thing do you I said no but that’s it besides my transmissions to the clinic so I guess everything is working OK or somebody would’ve got a hold of me

@kb49 I had my PM implanted 4 years ago. I explained that I still had chest tightness and exhaustion. They paid no attention to me until I made an appointment with an electrophysiologist (who had nothing to do with implanting the PM). He was able to reprogram some of the settings to make me feel better. You need to learn how the device works and find an EP who will work with you. You may be missing the boat if you don’t.
