What Causes Sudden Body Jerks Inspite Of Having Pacemaker For Slow Heart Rate?
I have had some uncontrollable jerking in the past and even passed out a couple of times after the event. I have had many tests and it was determined I had a slow heart rate and now have a pacemaker. I had another similar episode on Sunday (didn t pass out) and have since been very tired. I did a pacemaker test and it is working fine. Any thoughts?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is cardiac arrhythmia and pacemaker being placed then it could be bradycardia now it has to be kept there, and periodic medical examination is must like EKG, with right treatment it will be okay soon, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
