Is It Normal To Get Multiple Flutters After A Pacemaker Implantation?
I just got a pacemaker inplated 6 days ago, and for the past 2 days i have been having multiple flutters. I'm not sure if I should get this checked or if this is normal. I was in complete heart block for years and it was never caught, HR being between 35-45. So should I get it checked on or is this normal?

Is It Normal To Get Multiple Flutters After A Pacemaker Implantation?
Hi Welcome to healthcare magic, I understand your query and concern. Flutters in the heart post pacemaker insertion should be evaluated. I advise you to get 24 hr holder ECG monitoring immediately to look for any abnormality in the conduction. Monitor your blood pressure and heart rate immediately. Don t stop your present medication. Drugs like ionotropes,Anti hypertensives,lipid lowering drugs will be needed. Consult your cardiologist immediately for expert management. Post your further queries if any, Thank you.
