Hi, its best to ring your cardiology ward where you had your icd op. Let them know whats going on. My sister could ring them any time after her icd fitted, they will know whats up.
Hi, thank you for your reply. That was my next step although i think they might get fed up with me lol. Fortunately i had a home visit from the Heart Failure nurse yesterday who didn’t seem concerned thinks its all to do with the nerve block, yhe gp has prescribed me stronger pain killers, stitches out today so ill get the nurse to re check. Thanks again for taking the time to reply. Xx
