Common Questions and Answers about Pacemaker insertion medical transcription
pacemaker
The pain associated with an implanted pacemaker may be musculoskeletal or nerve related. Most likely related to the minor surgery required for insertion of the pacemaker. This type of pain related to the incision should heal within weeks. If you have persistent chest pain at the site of the pacemaker, it might be reasonable to see your doctor so that possible causes can be evaluated.
My father, 89, recently had a pacemaker inserted due to bradycardia. His PMD and internal medicine specialist started him on Coumadin afterwards. Since my step-mother had been hospitalized a week before with GI bleeding due to long term (20 years) effects of Coumadin, my father is reluctant to keep on with the medication now he's at home.
In my experience, when a Pacemaker is inserted by a Cardiologist, a representative by the Pacemaker manufacturer follows up the insertion and programs the pacemaker in the hospital. It's not unusual that it has to be tweaked from time to time. If your husband still isn't feeling right, I'd request that you contact your Cardiologist and ask for a manufacturer's rep to be present to review the history of your heart beats since it was inserted.
Normally, she should not have such pain after the insertion of the pacemaker. Maybe its position is causing some muscle spasm that is affecting her arm. The best option is to take her back to the doctor who inserted the pacemaker and explain the situation to him.
If she has some fever, it may mean that the pacemaker place is infected and needs an urgent intervention.
I got a pacemaker June 20th on the left side. There has been swelling in my left shoulder and arm from almost the time I got the pacemaker. The left side of my neck is contantly stiff. A venogram showed no clots. The shoulder and are feel very tight and the left arm is obviously larger than the right arm to the naked eye.
My cardiologist said this is unusual but didn't think I have anything to worry about.
Did my surgeon put the pacemaker in incorrectly? Is it crimping my vein?
I am on my 3rd pacemaker after an ablation and pacemaker insertion 12 years ago. Since my new one on the 5th of May was ok with the exception of lacking energy to walk far. Prior to my last insertion i was walking 4k's a day. Since then no way. i went back to my Doctor 4 weeks ago and told him. He said he would make it more sensitive. Then I experienced headaches amd feelings of nausea on many occasions.
i went back the following week to be told my BP had gone sky high. 160/102.
I'm thinking that refugnation is probably a transcription error for regurgitation. You see transcription errors in medical reports sometimes. I've never heard of refugnation and could not find it on a casual internet search. Trivial regurgitation of the tricuspid valve (or any of the other heart valves) is common.
In and of itself, trivial regurgitation of a heart valve does not affect a person's health, but I understand your curiosity as to why it was underlined.
The American Heart Association Guidelines list a range of indications for permanent pacemaker insertion, including a period of asystole lasting more than 3.0 seconds. Does your 2.8 second pause warrant pacemaker insertion? Once again, this should only be considered in patients without an underlying reversible cause such as hypokalemia or pauses occurring in the presence of SVT. A repeat Holter following correction of your hypokalemia will be important.
I hope this information helps.
He has already gone over the risks high chance of ending up with a pacemaker. I will have to stay in the hospital over night to have my heart continuously monitored. I wanted to hear some other stories from people who have had this procedure, how long was the hospital stay? when did you go back to work? any complications?
s an out there question, which may or may not be met with disgust, but which adresses a possible medical issue, so I at least ask you to put aside any judgement and look at the medical side of the condition:
There's an (uncommon) sexual practice called urethral insertion, where a medical device none as a sound is inserted into the male urethra. The practice is safe (?) as long as the sound is perfectly rounded and sterilized prior to use.
severe pain and vomiting. The IUD insertion was practically painless though. It has been about 4 days since the insertion and I am still feeling very faint and uncomfortably nauseous. Is this a common side effect to a small dose of misoprostol? I have had unprotected sex with my long term boyfriend since the insertion, with no pain, but am worried about:
1) infection
2) pregnancy
3) the length of time for misoprostol side effects to last.
Is this normal?!
I'm very uncomfortable.
At that time he had a cardiac cath with showed moderate blockage of the LAD and ultimately underwent a single bypass, MAZE procedure and pacemaker insertion. Post op course was normal, with good recovery. July 2010, 3 months post bypass, developed severe chest pain was still in A-fib with an EF of 35%. He underwent a transesophageal echo for possible cardioversion and was found to have a clot in his left atrium, which is still present.
when they went in to replace that lead they found the other lead off, they also found a black oily substance on my pacemaker. the pacemaker company was called, they told the dr to replace it free of charge. we have no idea what the substance was. the dr said he had never seen anything like it. we are waiting to hear from the company. since then i have been hospitalized twice, because my heart feels like it is skipping beats. now i have facial and neck swelling.
In 2013 I had an AV Node ablation. I am pacer dependent. In 2015 my pacemaker was upgraded to a Bi-V due to "pacemaker syndrome".
Since that time I have periods of extremely irregular heartbeats. These can last up to 8 hours. Various medical professionals have checked my pulse during these periods and confirm what I already knew.
I do not understand why the pacemaker does not prevent these periods of IHB.
