1 ReactionI also have an ICD going on 7 years. May I ask how the ICD is affecting your swallowing? What type of pain are you having?

1 ReactionWelcome to Mayo Clinic Connect @billydwill99! This is the place to ask questions and be a part of this support group discussing ICDs. Please explain how your ICD affects your swallowing so that the rest of us can better understand what is happening. This must affect eating. What does your electrophysiologist say? Has the ICD kept your heart paced or helped with arrhythemia? I recently learned that there are a couple of different styles of ICDs and perhaps you will receive an alternate style. To find out more, search Mayo Clinic ICD. I'd copy and paste the link, but I am away and have no mouse. When will your present ICD be removed?
