    Pacemaker

    I was having trouble with my heart.So they put in a two wire pacemaker this was four yr. ago. Now my heart was not pumping enough blood so they they put in a three wire pacemaker but the three wire is spiking my diaphragm and making me jump.they decided to turn it off for six month then try it again.It worked fine all day until I went to bed. So they had to turn the third wire off.

    I think if I could fine a large Recliner to sleep in I would be okay . Do any of you sleep all night in a recliner
    that you could recommend.

    Have your physician reposition the third lead. Happens more than you think.

    If your having to sleep in a recliner then you have more issues than pacemaker. It almost sounds like you have an automated internal defibrillator. This will not only pace your heart rate but shock you if your heart goes into certain rhythms. Long story short is that you need to follow up with your doc because it sounds like you may be in congested heart failure. If this is the case you may need to have medication adjusted. Good luck!
