Is It Normal To Get Multiple Flutters After A Pacemaker Implantation?
I just got a pacemaker inplated 6 days ago, and for the past 2 days i have been having multiple flutters. I'm not sure if I should get this checked or if this is normal. I was in complete heart block for years and it was never caught, HR being between 35-45. So should I get it checked on or is this normal?

Hi Welcome to healthcare magic,
I understand your query and concern.
Flutters in the heart post pacemaker insertion should be evaluated.
I advise you to get 24 hr holder ECG monitoring immediately to look for any abnormality in the conduction.
Monitor your blood pressure and heart rate immediately.
Don't stop your present medication.
Drugs like ionotropes,Anti hypertensives,lipid lowering drugs will be needed.
Consult your cardiologist immediately for expert management.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
