Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have got inserted a pacemaker before three years. Two weeks ago, I had a fall, and the pacemaker hit on the floor. A week later, suddenly my pacemaker gave a beep sound, and my heart started beating faster, and I was about to get unconscious. When my brother took me to the hospital, the doctors told that the pacemaker would not beep. But, I am sure it beeped, and after that, I had uncomfortable heart rhythms and a sharp pain in my chest. It happened only once. Can you please tell me what I should do now?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The pacemaker can certainly beat, and I do not know which one you have received. The next step is the interrogation of pacemaker and magnet ECG (electrocardiogram). You can get magnet ECG done, which will tell whether pacing is normal or not. Also, you will need pacemaker interrogation to detect any abnormalities you have in your heart. Beeping may be because of change in threshold or a slight change in lead position due to fall. You can contact company personnel or your doctor for interrogation.
