How To Check Whether Pacemaker In Heart Is Working Correctly?
I have recently received a one wire pacemaker implant for my heart . I resumed playing table tennis (8 weeks layoff ) 3 months taken off .I use the opposite arm from the implant side . Is there a monitor I can check the pacemaker is still working correctly ? Thanks

Dear Patient,
in order to get the pacemaker checked your cardiologist needs to monitor it in his office. There is no monitor for you to check it at home or on the go unfortunately. As long as you are eeling good and have no heart related symptoms you can assume everything is fine though. Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
