Clicking in war

[Jill222]

Hi I have had my pacemaker defibrillator fitted 11years now and totally dependant. I have recently had a clicking sound in one ear which is constant and only stops when I lay down. I assume its something to do with the pacing. Has anyone else experienced this. Thanks

Hi Your Pacemaker Battery may need replacing 11yrs is about its limit. ! They will fit a new Pacemaker !

As said you are nearing the limit of battery life. The replacement will be for both the pulse generator and the battery. At the same time you will probably have an ECG and other tests.

You need to follow this up quickly. If you get any other symptoms such as dizziness, fainting or unusual pulse (slow or fast) then ring 999!

Sorry people although I have had a pacemaker 11 "years it's not the same one. I had my third fitted last year so this one is just a year old. And my title should say ear not war., spellchecker!!

Thanks the pacemaker is just over a year old I have had 3 fitted over the last 11 years. Do you think it's the pacemaker pulse I can hear. Sorry it should have said ear not war. Spell check!!
