Pacemaker of uterine contraction
Common Questions and Answers about Pacemaker of uterine contraction
pacemaker
if the heart make a contraction based on the pacemaker stimulus, then when the next natural contraction is supposed to be?
The stimulus triggers a brief restructuring of proteins and results in contraction of the muscle fibers. Within a fraction of a second the entire ventricle wrings out somewhere around a hundred milliliters of blood into the aorta.
To summarize this series of events:
Step 1. Pacer sends electricity to lead tip.
Step 2. Electrical impulse conducts to tissue at the point of contact and spreads throughout the heart.
Step 3. The electrical impulse causes the heart to contract.
i never felt better after receiving the pacemaker than before i got it. my wife was persistent with my doctor, after two weeks of complaing, she finally got his attention when she noted that my heart rate kept dropping innthe 30's during a medical procedure. she confronted the doctor. i was brought into the er, where they checked my pacemaker, one lead was off. when they went in to replace that lead they found the other lead off, they also found a black oily substance on my pacemaker.
perhaps what your experiencing is uterine contraction due to your muscles and ligaments that is stretching to accommodate your growing baby,i myself started feeling the pressure ,could hardly walk for a long period of time without feeling like the baby is gonna come out :9, hopefully it will get better.21 weeks tomorrow.
I think that my pacemaker may have moved position, it doesn't feel the same as it always has, I mean to the touch. We all are very familiar with how or pacemakers feel to the touch, "I hope I'm explaining this right" but my pacemaker feels as if it has spun or turn on it's side and I am scared craze. Will it unplug or come loose?
I guess i want to know if there is anyone who has this and does not have a pacemaker. One other thing it says is an episode of wenckbach phenomena.
I have a 2 year old son. Recently I have started having uterine contractions when he cries. It's only in the early morning when I'm still in bed and he wakes me up crying into the monitor. It's usually just one contraction that lasts a couple of minutes. They feel exactly like the contractions that you get after you have a baby and your uterus is shrinking back down to its normal size... like when you're breast feeding. I haven't breastfed in about 10 months.
how can you differ a braxton hick contraction from the real thing? when do braxton hicks start during pregnancy?
That is, they are capable of contracting whenever they want, but happily, they generally sort of agree to abide by the timing of the pacemaker. Still, every now and then, there's a rebel or a cluster of rebels somewhere. If you have been diagnosed with PVCs, your rebels are in one of your ventricles.
When you have a PVC, the rebels cause the ventricle to contract earlier than usual.
For third-degree heart block, anticholinergics or sympathomimetics may be prescribed temporarily while a temporary pacemaker is inserted followed by placement of a permanent pacemakerock. First-degree heart block requires no treatment. Exercise or drug treatment that decreases vagal tone (anticholinergics) may reverse Mobitz type I, butTreatment depends on the type of block. First-degree heart block requires no treatment.
s ventricle that acts as an extra pacemaker and that can cause a change in the sequence of our normal pacemaker (sinus node). The activity of the extra pacemaker may be increased by different factors like stress, hormones and medications. Now why can we feel these extra beats? Just because the strength of every heart beat depends on the amount of blood that fill the heart before the next contraction.
I was getting that too. It happened to me at 26wks in my drs appoitnment and he explained that's how I would be able to tell the difference between a braxton hick contraction and a strong uterine contraction but it was so random he wasn't concerned. A week later I went into preterm labour. I'd say you are getting very close!
It's most likely a uterine contraction. No biggie, it happens with preggo sex, as long as it goes away after. I've had to have hot baths before being pregnant to ease uterine cramps/contractions after some good lovin.
This might be a little tmi but: when you orgasm your body releases oxitocen which is the same hormone that causes uterine contractions in labor. That's a preview of an early labor our Braxton hicks contraction.
PVCs and PACs occur when heart cells other than the typical pacemaker cells generate an electrical impulse and then a muscle contraction and heart beat. These may occur rarely or in some cases very frequently. Similarly, some people aren't aware of these while other people feel very symptomatic with them.
I'm only 20 weeks along and last night I was having so quite a bit of "semi contractions" I'm guessing Braxton Hicks. I have 1 child so I know the feeling of real labor and contractions but wow anyone else experiencing this at an early stage?
Strictly speaking, palpitations are a particular awareness of your heartbeat, be it regular or irregular, regardless of the anatomical origin of the beat. It's interesting that everyone has irregular beats--but most people simply don't feel them. We sensitive types do.
You mention an uneven pulse. The very nature of PVCs is unevenness: The letters stand for 'premature ventricular contraction.
Awhile back I posted a quote from a wonderful website as a response to a question similar to this one. The original set of posts can be viewed at http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/600583?personal_page_id=9026&post_id=post_3309923 Just copy and past that address and you can see the whole discussion. The gist of it is listed below....
The following excerpt was taken from an article that was copied from this web address:

My girlfriend is 27 weeks and last night she woke up with what she described as abdominal cramps, uterine contraction like feeling, and substantial increase in the vaginal pressure? Should we be concerned?
Heart muscles not receiving a sufficient supply of oxygenated blood due vessel occlusions, heart attack, or inflammation of the heart muscles. Other causes include hypertension, cardiomyopathies, congenital heart disease, and mechanical damage, as may occur during right-sided cardiac catheterization or with the placing of a pacing catheter in the right ventricle. RBBB can also result from fibrosis of the skeleton of the heart; this disorder is called Lev's disease".
