Suggest Treatment For Getting Shock After Pacemaker Insertion
I have had a pacemaker put in five weeks ago sand have felt worse. After a week, went back and they did an EKG. A wire had came loose, so they went back in and fixed it ( or so they said). Three days later, I started being shocked. This happened numerous times. Went to the ER and the tech turned off my pacemaker. Now they want to go back in. Now, I am having chills and fever. Do I need to check finding another doctor, or what can I do? I just want them to remove the pacemaker.

Hi,
No need to see another doctor but you can discuss with them for the matter going on and whether the pacemaker needs to be changed? Do I need pacemaker? Can I do well without this? Something like that, and most important is clinical symptoms if you do not have any symptoms as long as the heat beat is concern then it is nothing to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtar Husain
