Pain around pacemaker site

Hi Deb, sorry to hear you are suffering the same side affects as me. Last night the feeling of being pricked by pins was the worse yet, not to mention my legs from the knee down to me feet felt as if they were on fire so I got up and ran around the garden a few times and felt better. When I got up this morning and gave a long yawn I got the strange pain in my chest again. The pain etc doesn't really worry so much as the restrictions on my daily life. I miss wrestling with my dogs on the lawn and going swimming, I know we are allowed to do the breast stroke but I need to do the crawl to feel myself powering along the pool. Oh yes and my tectonic device doesn't seem to work, I have been told they will call me in 4 weeks time. Just had a thought: When in the Army out training with my soldiers one of my Sgts stopped running and sat down gasping,, "Sgt are you in pain " I barked at him " Yes sir he replied" I said " If You feel pain that's good, Its shows your alive, get moving" good days,
Keep safe Deb and smile.

Well, I do appreciate the response.....however, I am not Deb. Make sure you get a message to the proper person. My name is "Shelley". Even tho I've had pain at my pacemaker site since the day I left the hospital October,2020... it has recently become worse. Feels as if there's a "pushing/pressure" followed by a burn sensation with the sharp prickly needles. My pulse got down to 37 in the hospital before my procedure and currently hovers around the 82 mark. I'd been feeling kind of "off", dizzy like and light headed and had absolutely NO color in my face, so I went to see my PCP. She sent me to ER, immediately I was transported to a hospital and had the pacemaker procedure the next day. Grateful to be alive today! Have an upcoming appt with cardiology to see what's going on. It is nice to be in touch with others, so Thank You for responding.
