Dos and Don'ts After A Pacemaker Implant

[@Patrick-pl7qc]

I am 71 I was 70 when I had my pacemaker and I love my new pacemaker and I promise myself I would take good care of it because it is taking care of my heart and my heart is taking care of me for 70 years hopefully I will live longer than the pacemaker and hopefully in 10 years I will be here to get a new pacemaker thank you to all the nurses and the doctor's they do a fantastic job no matter what country they live respect your health service people they deserve your respect

[@atthaliesiedm4161]

My mom is getting one and I wanted to get a great picture of how this will change her life. Thank you for sharing a great information on what to expect.

I am four weeks into my Medtronic dual lead pacemaker implant and was advised to go easy for six weeks. I have modified my physical structural therapy exercises to avoid raising my left arm above my head. I am not doing my inversion table exercises until week 6 and get approval from my Electrophysiologist Dr. Rudolf Evonish at Bellin Cardiology in Green Bay. My question is "What heart tissue holds the leads in place?" Michael Sullivan

[@germainefisher1632]

Thanks, great video. It would be great if you would do a video about those who experience higher levels of pain than the norm after pacemaker implantation and how they can help reduce it.

[@purpleXpotion]

No, he said just get back to work so you can start paying him off. 🫤

[@Drlin927]

Yes please. Are you or did you have excessive pain. I'm 4 weeks post implantation of a pacemaker. I'm in so much pain still. Yes the bruising has subsided, but not the pain. How many other people have this problem ❤

“I recently came across a study titled ‘A Randomized Trial of Lenient Versus Strict Arm Instruction Post Cardiac Device Surgery (LENIENT)’. This single-center, non-blinded, randomized prospective study aims to compare lenient and restrictive post-operative care instructions for patients who have undergone surgery involving cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED). The researchers hypothesize that there will be no significant difference in the rate of complications between the two sets of instructions. I’m curious about your thoughts on this matter. Thank you in advance.”

[@iangrigg1276]

Hospitals in the uk will not do a normal mri scan if a pacemaker is fitted no matter whether its new or old. Special precautions have to be taken before, during & after an mri in such cases.

[@martingriffith7824]

Dr.Yee Kok Meng, with the newer pace maker , is using felx core 120v welders or 120v plasma cutters safe in limited amounts of time or with maybe a shield blanket? Thank you very much Martin. I hand a farm and need to do repairs from time to time.

Glad to hear that

[@geoffmower8729]

I live in Australia and I just had my Boston scientific pacemaker replaced after ten years of hassle free service. The new one is a Boston scientific with a bedside monitoring device that can send information back to my cardiologist. But they are not sure if the old leads that were reused are MRI compatible.

[@shikhasoni5518]

How was life going with pacemaker? Can u do everything normally having that? And after replacement how's it?

[@geoffmower8729]

@@shikhasoni5518 Hi my new American scientific pacemaker is excellent I went in to the cardiologist for a check up and he adjusted it through the WIFI on his computer. T he old one lasted 10 years and the new ones battery is guaranteed for 15 years and it came with a bed side monitoring unit that periodically receives information from the pacemaker when I sleep and sends it back to the cardiologist witch means less check ups. And if anything go's wrong with the pacemaker the DR will know before I do. I can do everything like normal but if I am required to go through an airport metal detector I just tell them I have a pacemaker and they take me to the side and pat me down to make sure I have no weapons on me. The pacemaker and leads are MRI compatible if I ever have to have one.

[@sunderamswaminathan5624]

The same case with me too

[@CENIMATIC88]

Im 22 ,,,my heart beat rate 30-50 ...1 year back fixed boston scientific pacemaker ...im feeling dizzyness ,,weakness,,feeling unhealthy...any suggestions u will give sir 😥😥😥.

[@ciaranambusi153]

Thank u DOC

[@ivyrosegoswick8065]

Is it safe to use Ultrasound (physical therapy) on the cervical area to reduce pain and improve range of motion?

[@tamermakram8121]

Can I ask if the aeroplane signals during air flights affect of malfunction my pacemaker, am afraid to travel by air a lot 😢

[@Irishrose5424]

Keep you medical card on you at all times and do not let people give you a bad time going thru airport or screening at concerts or other events I usually do not have any problems. Make sure you stay hydrated when outdoors. Those things have helped me. You will notice it and be aware of it but nothing to be afraid of. You cant lift heavy weights on your left side. Other than that its not bad. You will have to go for pacer checks every 6 months to make sure all is well and check your readings. If anything shows up, they will find in that time and report to your doctor.

[@BM-xc9sq]

I am a machinist and welder for a living. I want to make a shield to cover my pacemaker from the EM waves. I was going to use copper instead of lead. Will this work? Thank you.

[@kittolai]

Hi doc, thanks for the I just have my crt-d implanted, and I wonder if it is safe to return to normal sex life as I would want to have another child in the future. What is the assessment?

[@amirhosseinWT]

Hi now Im after the 1 month of procedure. My doctor has said I should not raise my hand over my head because of the ICD. Can I do weight lifting with my arms not shoulder and chest exercises and with light weight dumbbells?

[@jayhype6284]

Thank you for sharing this video. I want to ask, will a simple at home pulse oximeter provide a accurate heart rate after receiving a pacemaker? Will it be possible it can still show a heart rate under 60bpm? Thank you Dr.

[@annchladek9098]

I wonder about using a cell phone for extended times. I have vision issues and have to hold it close to my face.

Is is true once you implant the pacemaker you can't lift up you hand? You cannot carry weight in your left arm

[@สุพจน์สูนพลอย-ห9ฃ]

I have a slow heart rate and have been wearing a pacemaker for 2 years. The doctor set my heart rate at 50-130. Can we exercise and play football? And is there a chance that the lead wire is loose or not? And when we exercise more than the specified at 130 will it have any effect on the machine? thank you.
