Most people are able to go home on the day they have the procedure or the day after. Tell the staff if your symptoms are persistent or severe. There may also be some bruising where the pacemaker was inserted.
You may feel some pain or discomfort during the first 48 hours after having a pacemaker fitted, and you'll be given pain-relieving medication. The nurses will be able to observe your heart rate and rhythm.Ī chest X-ray will be carried out to check your lungs, as well as the position of the pacemaker and leads. The box displays your heart rhythm on several monitors in the nursing unit. The monitor consists of a small box connected by wires to your chest with sticky electrode patches. You'll be attached to a special monitor so the medical team can keep an eye on your heart rhythm.
