What Causes Burning Sensation After Implanting Pacemaker In Abdomen?
my 13 yr old daughter has a pacemaker implanted in her abdomen and is complaining of a burning sensation around the site. she has had one since the age of 2 and had a battery replacement 3 years ago. we just went to the cardiologist and electropysiologist in august and everything checked out fine, we also just did a routine phone monitoring a few weeks ago which was normal

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
History of Pacemaker, check and change of battery noted. Everything is normal except burning sensation in the abdomen.
The probable cause can be a mild reaction which is common in such instrumentation or the irritation of the nerves nearby by the fibrosis.
It looks to be OK, nothing much to worry about unless it is troublesome.
On a better safe side consult your Cardiologist to see there is no infection or any other problem .
