A member asked:

How can i get my heart doc to listen about the placement of my pacemaker? i have x-ray's that show its moved & my quality of life is no longer there.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More info needed: You dont say how your quality of life has changed by the pacer moving. If its a vanity issue they may not listen because it is not a simple procedure to "move" your pacemaker. It may also not be covered by your insurance and the cost could be significant, it would have to be a medically indicated reason to move it and again it is not a simple thing and still can move next time also.
