PACEMAKER ISSUES

Hi all, I am 4 days into having my pacemaker fitted. I have been getting the most horrendous acid reflux and indigestion. Is this normal? I had a little when I was first diagnosed with heart failure (now in remission), but other than that, 67 and never suffered with these issues in my life! Thank you.

No it's not normal but I don't know how it might be related to your new PM, contact your device team and see what they say. By the way there's a great Facebook group called Pacemaker UK.

Not what you're looking for?
