How are you feeling 15 days after your pacemaker surgery?
At this point in your recovery, it's important to watch for any potential complications, though they're not common. Keep an eye out for:
* Heart rhythm problems
* Signs of blood clots
* Allergic reactions
* Any issues with the pacemaker or leads
If you experience any unusual symptoms, contact your healthcare provider right away.
You should have had or will soon have a follow-up visit where your doctor checks that the pacemaker is working correctly. This is a good time to discuss any concerns about discomfort, sleep issues, or other challenges you might be experiencing.
Most people recover well from pacemaker surgery. The procedure has a success rate close to 100 percent with excellent outcomes. Give yourself time to heal and don't hesitate to reach out to your cardiology team with questions.
