Yes I did, it was pacing my diaphragm in a very violent manner and it was very uncomfortable. I got an emergency appointment with the Pacemaker Clinic, had that lead switched off and then I had to have a revision and get the lead replaced a few months later.

All ended well in the end and 4 years on I am more than happy with the result.
