A member asked:
Are there any side effects from having a pacemaker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soreness : Pacemaker implantation is a routine procedure for experienced operators. While there are risks to any procedure, the risk of serious adverse events with pacemakers is quite low. Most people commonly are a little sore and may have some swelling in the area for a few days.
