Hi I'd just like to ask if any of you out there have a pacemaker or know someone who has one?
My partner has had one for nearly ten years now ( for AV block) and is about to go in to have the battery replaced. Has anyone any experience of this and is it anything to worry about? Will it be a big op under GA or will it be done under local?
Also, DP sometimes complains that he has a pain in his heart and has funny turns sometimes when he feels a bit weird and like he can't walk. He has mentioned this to the doctors but all his tests come back fine and they don't seem concerned about it. He has never blacked out. I would just like to know if this is normal for life with a pacemaker?
Many thanks
