Common Questions and Answers about Pacemaker surgery side effects
pacemaker
I used both, and found that side effects are similar; tiredness, weight gain, and a slow pulse. Side effects are more pronounced as the dosage is increased. I had dosages from 25mg to 200mg. daily. Other reported effects are loss of libido, tightness in the chest, itching, irregular breathing, and irregular heartbeat. If you have any further questions, I'd be happy to respond based on my experience with the drug.

I talk with him about medication dose levels and side-effects. I even study test results, e.g., an echocardiogram last month. In it I found my left atrium had shrunk from it too large size...I had heart surgery about two years ago. While I never spoke directly with my cardiologist I did discuss the good news with his nurse. She said he agrees that my "reading" is correct and he prescribed a follow up echo in six months to see if the good progress continues...
My pacer was inserted three years ago, and my heart rate and blood pressure rates were great afterwards. However, I had to have bypass surgery, and following the surgery my heart rate and blood pressure was hard to control. The docs contacted my pacer manufacturer and together, they found the problem.
I'd strongly urge you to contact St. Judes and send them the very well worded post that you sent us, and ask them for some help. St.
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.
t helping me), 2) increase the Metoprolol (which would have lots of side effects and make the pacemaker need to be used more; resulting in pacemaker surgery again since I only have one lead now since they couldn't get the second lead in the first time) or 3) ablation.
I never knew of anyone who had ablation and the thought of it was extremely frightening. I go to see him again in two weeks to discuss what I would like to do.
I am curious, those of you who have had surgery for CM1 what are some of the side effects you are or have dealt with? My Neurologist was telling me about one patient who after surgery anytime she hits a bump in the road she becomes disoriented. So I am just trying to find out what other side effects there are. Thank you all for you help!
going out of rhythm and running fast are two different things. When surgery is finished, there is a wire protruding from the chest, attached to the heart, so a temporary pacemaker can be fitted if necessary. This is normally removed 2 to 3 days later.
I do remember after my bypass, my heart rate was 85-90 for a few days. Before surgery it was 50-60. After a few weeks it did settle down again and was 60-70. Since my stenting my resting rate has been 70-80.
Can you be more specific about the 'extreme' increases in heart rate?
It is quite normal for someone to be totally relaxed in a chair with a pulse of 60-70 and then upon suddenly standing up seeing it jump to 100-110. The heart simply kicks into action and settles down again.
I just fitted my monitor to try it out. I had a pulse of 65 sitting in a chair. I stood up and it went to 102 but soon dropped back to 72.
My grandmother had her pacemaker implanted 1 week ago. Is it normal for the area to be bruised, a purple color? She is also experiencing a burning sensation around the area. She is 84 years old and before she had the surgery she was able to walk fine and now she walks a little and she feels very tired and she says she feels like her heart is beating really fast and it might even come out.
m going for my third. side effects from my operation are being extremely tired. Waking up from the operation means all you wanna do is sleep. i know this may sound gross but when needing to get up from your bed and go to the bathroom, you can't even walk. browsing becomes appear 3 days after, n you're groin and arm, they seems to go away after 3-4 weeks. after each operation i felt fine for 3 months, then each time my heart would play up again.
However, danger of a stroke trumps the side effects of the drug. I went into Afib after bypass surgery and was administered Amiodarone, and it stopped the Afib within twenty-four hours. My side effects were itchy eyes from the drug, and believe me, itchy eyes was an easy trade-off from a stroke.
Keep us informed.
t help either but I am getting some small relief from nasal strips. The doctor who performed the surgery said there was absolutely no danger of any problems after surgery. I never gave this any thought but I never had a cold since the surgery and my nose is always dry .Instead of a runny nose I would always get bronchitus when cold symptoms appeared. I also developed tinnitus about 10 years ago.
