Three weeks post Pace and Ablate ablation

[Lamplight37]

hi….update on what’s happening ….Thankyou for all replies….I still don’t feel well…legs still bloated as is stomach…now just to add fuel to the fire I have a lump above the pacemaker…went to local GP who did all the usual checks sent me away with another prescription of antibiotics for the chest infection…didn’t even bother to check swollen tum and legs. I penned an urgent email to Cardiologist yesterday saying what had happened to me since Ablation …but no reply as yet. Phoned cardio Dept this morning ref lump above pacemaker had to leave a message….so I am now over three weeks later not much further forward. Has anyone had a lump above pacemaker? What causes it ? I am now at the stage really not sure what to do next …..I suppose it will be the inevitable visit to A and E which I have already done …plus two visits to GP. To say I am frustrated isn’t the word …just absolutely fed up with everything !

I have several lumps which are the wires as they curve out to go down and under the collar bone to access the clavial vein. Since I seldon wear a bikini these days (sorry to dissapoint Flapjack) I ignore them. The PM itself is also vey visible.

Sorry I can't be much help to you other than to agree that I would be so frustrated and annoyed as well, to say the very least! I just hope I wouldn't be in your situation although after 24 DCCVs a pace/ ablate is coming closer.

Hope you get some answers very soon

I hope you can get to speak to your cardiologist soon. It's extremely frustrating to be fobbed off when you need help. Do you have access to the cardiac nurses? I found then very helpful.
