What Do Burning Sensations In The Sternum Area Indicate?
I have had a pacemaker 2 years. I have a burning sensation in area of pacemaker and rib pain I also have protruding veins in bicep of left arm. My left thumb turns blue and I will have a sharp pain every so often in heart area. Can my pacemaker be causing this? I have a pinch nerve in c5and c6 as well. Not sure what to do.

Hello,
No, the pain is not due to the pacemaker. But due to pinch nerve C5 and C6. So, I highly recommend consulting further with a neurologist and orthopaedic specialist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
