Awkward feeling

Posted , 2 users are following.

I'm a recent pacemaker recipient a lil over a month now due to an SVT episode. Been feeling ok so far except for today. Sweating and just feeling pinches and needle like feeling all of a sudden. My scar itches a whole lot but is tender. Is there anyone out there who has experienced this? Also does rhis thing flatten out? I still notice a hump in my chest?

    How did you end up with a pacemaker from a svt episode?

      Hey Rick after my ablation my heart rate rested at 52bpm and lower so I actually elected to get the pacemaker because I didn't want to do beta blockers or any other pills to try and keep it regulated at 60 and above so this keeps it at a normal rhythm and the blood flowing normally and no SVT episodes.
