Avatar f tn Only at night, in her bed, which is next to the ICD communicator, she awakens with what she describes as an electric shock or static electricity noise and/or buzzing in her head. As a result, she's been sleeping on the couch. Again, it's only at night, and only in her bedroom. WHAT could be the cause?! Her doctors told her it's a psychotic reaction to the trauma of 37 shocks. But she doesn't believe that, and neither do I.
967168 tn?1477584489 Almost 2 years later my thresh holds remain high at almost 1100 and I was told they want to repair or remove them because my interrogations keep showing loss of capture, noise and tons of events that look like artifacts (254 just since May 19th). My last cardiologist said I don't need the leads out because I'm not pacemaker dependent, but I saw a new EP last Friday who did 45 min of extensive testing on my ICD.
585050 tn?1301835164 Ever since I had brain surgery in 2001, (originally they thought I had a brain tumor, but it turned out to be an AVM which was removed) I have had strange, randomly occuring headaches that are caused by noise or light or even by a breeze running through my hair over the surgical site. The surgery was in the right temporal lobe. Sometimes they start for no apparent reason. I was once told that this was Post-Craniotomy Headache Syndrome.
Avatar m tn ) Mine practically insisted I get a pacemaker. Prior to this I had three (or four?) incidents of fainting in my whole life (I was 46 when I got the PM) going back to when I was 17. Unfortunately, the last two had been rather dramatic where I'd woken in the middle of the night feeling unwell, went into the bathroom and passed out on the floor. On one occasion I thwacked my noise on the way down and thought I might have broken it. I didn't want the pacemaker, but agreed to it.
Avatar m tn Other factors that may induce your migraine attack may be stress or depression, bright lights, loud noise and traveling. I would suggest careful record of events that have proceeded with the attack and avoid those factors. In addition, try to rest in a dark & quiet room, meditate, have a balanced diet and avoid taking unnecessary drugs.

Avatar f tn I have been hearing some popping noises in my belly lol kike literally.. anybody knows why?
1509359 tn?1289980237 Sometimes I hear noise like when in a crowded room and I can not focus on any of it, it is just loud. But im alone or it is not noisy. Any idea what it could be? It has happened from as young as 3 years old.(that I can remember) >.
Avatar m tn t work, you have the option of filing a noise complaint with the police. Most areas have a week-day limit about noise.........out here it's 10pm and on the week-ends, it midnight. This is usually a step that doesn't foster goodwill between neighbors, though, so it's best to try and work it out. "alsky" asked if you had the option of moving, stating that sometimes it's easier than dealing with the situation.
Avatar f tn The pacemaker itself should not be a deterent from having an ablation. I've had a pacemaker for 6 years (because of an ablation actually), and then had another ablation about a year ago. Unfortunately, the ablations don't work for me, but I have IST, not SVT so hopefully they're more effective for that.
Avatar f tn My pacemaker battery had been dead for over a year and a half, and I just now was told that the pacemaker will have to be removed because it can damage the heart if it doesn't have a battery. Is this true? Incidentally, my pacemaker had not been activated for several years, as it was set for the minimum and didn't ever have to kick in.
Avatar f tn I have had numerous surgeries including the Fontan in 1987 with a revision of the Fontan in 2006, where at that time I also had a Medtronic Enrhythym Pacemaker install. 3 weeks ago I had a Pacemaker replacement due to the fact my battery on my Pacemaker was running low. The new Pacemaker installed is a Medtronic Adapta. Since the new pacemaker my Heart beat has been all over the place. My 1st Enrhythym was paced at 80 bpm, and it pretty much stayed like that for 5.
Avatar n tn i had 3 open heart surgery and on my 2nd. pacemaker.. my first pacemaker last me for 18yrs. and just got my 2nd. pacemaker Dec.2006.. my pacemaker was implanted in my upper chest on the right side.. only thing i hate the surgery doctor told me he would use the same cut as the other pacemaker but when i woke up he cut me in another spot.. well i can say.. ask your doctor his he using the same cut as the first pacemaker was in..
Avatar f tn Do you have a pacemaker? The best is to check with your doctor or pacemaker technician. I don't know what can it cause the heart functioning abnormality if you have the inverted T waves? Anyone knows? It also depends if you're a pacemaker dependent or not. I'm not a pacemaker depend. I go well with the equipment which marks "Pacemaker user caution". If I found my heart beats abnormally, then I stop using it and try again after the heart settle.
Avatar n tn Hi, I'm sorry about your mom. Its my understanding that they don't "stop" the pacemaker, Nature takes it course regardless of the pacemaker. I went through this with my mom.
Avatar n tn My normal pulse rate with out pacemaker is 54 ppm. My dual lead pacemaker is set at 70 ppm, some people with pacemakers have the pacemaker rate set below their normal heart Resting rate Ex. normal rate 50 ppm Pacemaker set at 45 ppm. What determines the optimun pulse rate for the pacemaker? My Doctor is willing to set it at any rrrrrrrrrrate I choose. I am 86 years old in good physical shape,play tennis do nautilis and swim several times a week.
Avatar n tn I don't believe a pacemaker is used to control AFib. Perhaps your father has other heart problems. The most common use for a pacemaker is to keep the heart from beating too slow, or stopping. Some times a PM is used when the heart electrical system has to be totally shut down, in which case there would be no AFib or other arrhythmia, but this is not done to my knowledge, to control AFib.
Avatar f tn Pacemaker batteries will not run out unexpectedly. When a battery is running low, the elective replacement indicator (ERI) is activated. Physicians can detect this activation during a routine office visit. In addition, the battery status and the general functioning of the pacemaker can be tested over the telephone. This is generally done every one to two months.
Avatar m tn You may be able to feel the pacemaker under your skin as the pacemaker is typically placed just below the skin. This area will be sore after surgery, but as time passes the pacemaker should become less noticeable.
Avatar m tn my mother had a pacemaker implant ans was told that if she is ok in the next three weeks it will be removed. is this possible? To remove the pacemaker?? so why was it necessary to do this in the first place?
Avatar f tn After two years of looking for a diagnosis for the pulsing in my ear I went to a third doctor, eye and ear specialist, who did a CT-scan. He discovered I have Superior Canal dehiscence. I suggest everyone on this look it up. I have a hole in my ear canal. I am scheduled for more testing. Living with this noise is driving me crazy. I believe the fix is surgical. I will know more in a few weeks.
Avatar f tn I just had a dual lead pacemaker put in 3 days ago to control accelerated junctional rhythm. The same night of surgery I had ajr of 135 it had overridden my pacemaker. I continue to have junctional rhythms and very rarely is my heart rate,at 85 which is what pacemaker is set at. I can't walk from one room to another without heart racing and out of breath. I feel horrible.. Will this get better as maybe my heart is irritated? I feel worse than. Before pacemaker.
Avatar f tn I also understand a pacemaker would treat AFib only if your had a full shut-down and are are operating under full-time pacemaker timing. I could be wrong on this point, I am not a pacemaker patient myself. What has you doctor said about your symptoms?
Avatar f tn hi i have a dual chamber lead pacemaker and my pacemaker clinic believes my pacemaker lead had either dropped or dislodged and is pacing me where i don't need pacing it's my question is can the leads cause pvcs how can a venogram check the position my leads.
Avatar m tn my wires/leads stick out under my skin a little more then rest of my pacemaker, but i dont know if this is common since my pacemaker is placed on my right side of chest. shoulder pain and burning sensation with pacemaker kind of work as a team, is there anything that i'm doing wrong? i'm not tugging or pulling on anything just sitting around.
