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.
What Causes Pain In Arm And Numbness In Cheeks After Having Pacemaker?
I recently had a double lead on demand pacemaker installed. Periodically, I experience a sharp pain in my left arm, numb cheeks, and a feeling of weakness. I am aware of everything going on but sense something bad is going on or going to happen. After about a half hour, it passes. This happens an average of once every two days. What could be the cause of what I am experiencing?
This could be for two reasons. One the pacemaker where placed is irritating your nerve and this these symptoms or its not working properly and you are experiencing symptomatic arrhythmia that is irregular heart rhythm. Consult your electrophysiologist and cardiologist as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
