What Causes Chest Pain With Pace Maker?
I had a pace maker put in a year ago....have been feeling great until yesterday. I started having what felt like chest pains. After I walked into a store. Came back and set in my car for awhile and was fine. It just happened again. I would like you to know I have been excercising 5 times a week 3 water classes and 2 days of low strength training. Walk the treadmill for 10 minutes on those days and also 10-15 minutes on the new step machine. Is this something I need to be concerned with. I dont have an appt till July 16th. Kind of concerned. Had A-Fib for 5 years before they put the St Judes pacemaker in.
