Pacemaker with a side kick!

3 weeks ago had my first pacemaker follow up (3 lead Pacemaker), they changed the setting and gave me an extra kick! at night when I lay on my side I would sometimes get a kick by the bottom of my rib cage, today I went back to the pacemaker clinic and was told it was a nerve close to the lead so it was shocking my heart and a nerve, they reprogrammed it to use a different part of the lead away from the nerve, hopefully all ok now thanks to the team at Exeter clinic
