Hello doctor, In mid-February 2011, had pacemaker/defibrillator placement for low EF @ 35% and irregular beats. For about two weeks I have had intermittent heart pain and pain on my left side at the level of the heart/breast. These pains do not occur at the same time. Could it be the device is lightly shocking? The pains almost feel like spasming. Heart rate and pulse are a.o.k. I am 57 year old female, 5 7 and weigh 175
Madam you had undergone ICD and you must be under medications. You have chest pain or feel like shock, then you must consult your physician. To rule out CAD or ice shocks, please get your ECG and device interrogation done as soon as possible. I don't think there is much to worry about. Take Care
