What Causes Pain In The Shoulders And Neck While Lifting An Object?
My Dad had a pacemaker in March of this year. Since the pacemaker he has been experiencing pain in his shoulders and neck if he does any type of lifting. He was very active and used to physical work prior to the pacemaker. He also is dizzy and unsteady. He is on medications for an irregular heart beat, and high blood pressure. is this a result of the pacemaker?
