Hi everyone. I havent posted in a good while but could do with some advice. I had my crt pacemaker in March last year. I have been suffering with pain from the site but am not infected. Today i also felt a thud and where my pacemaker is on my right side it felt like it was coming from under my right breast too. Am i just being a bit parinoid? Thanks sara

I have just had a crt-d fitted and was getting thuds in my stomach. Turned out to be one of the leads sending too strong a pulse through nearby muscle. You have had yours longer though and maybe the wire has moved a bit. Do you have access to arrhythmia nurses? You should definitely speak to someone for advice.
