Pacemaker

Me

Good morning, I have a swollen left arm and hand and after the latest CT scan have been diagnosed with a narrowing of arteries across my chest. I have a pacemaker and the veins/arteries around it are very visible, plus also in my shoulder area.

The earliest appointment I have is 3 January 2023, however, I now have little niggles of almost like an indigestion pain below the pacemaker. My blood pressure is pretty good, which I take each day to check for any movement.

Wondered if any member has/had the same issue, and what was done to eliminate the issue.

Many thanks

Dave

I should ring 111 and get advice- think this needs early investigation

Call your pacemaker team as they can probably get you seen quickly.
