Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I'm 60 and had a pacemaker put in this past Tuesday. I was asymptomatic but was aware of low pulse and getting winded when running up stairs or my driveway. EKG showed a 3rd degree heart block. Went to ER waited for the result of Lyme test. When negative they put in the pacemaker. Since surgery I've noticed a skin rash on my neck and shoulders and upper chest. I thought it might have to do with the tape and such used during surgery. I'm seeing my surgeon on Monday but didn't want to be an idiot if this was something serious. Thank you.
