pacemaker
I have the midway anatomy ultrasound tomorrow where they check that everything is okay in there and growing normally and tell you the gender. I was wondering what I should expect and how long the appointment is?
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.
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.
A surgical bypass to decompress the system depends on the anatomy of the blockage. If the clot includes not only the portal vein but also the tributaries this would not be an optin because it would only decompress a small portion of the mesenteric bed.
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.
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.
I have an implanted [2006] bi-v pacemaker and defibrillator which helped relieve my early symptoms enormously. IS the diastolic dysfunction a progression of the cardiomyopathy? What do these new symptoms mean prognostically? I'm 65, female , and have had the best of care and take all the normal meds prescribed for these conditions. I've never smoked or drank.
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.
Whilst there is no "cure" as such the condition can be managed by surgical insertion of a shunt which drains the cerebral spinal fluid from the ventricles of the brain so that pressure does not build up.
I also have Pilocytic Astrocytomas growing towards my brain stem , in the cerebellum and a Venous Angioma, also in the Cerebellum. I also have Tympanosclerosis and am allergic to Morphine. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you, Sharon.
You usually only get 2 unless your dr gives one every visit and depending on your insurance.
My dr told me I'd have one at 34 weeks n when I went in she said they weren't doing another one. I was furious. With my last 3 I always had another anatomy scan to check fluid. Size. Direction of baby etc. but not this time. Nd thing being is I've already had some issues so I figured they'd be extra cautious nd do another one. But this dr is different than my others n I'm not really fond of him hence why I've seen his nurse practitioners.
