A member asked:

I had a pacemaker put in april 1 to slow my heart rate down and not sure how far he put it in feeling hard spots on my chest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pacemaker: Pacemaker is unlikely to cause any hard spots on the chest wall except directly over the pulse generator and lead(s). You can certainly ask your implanting physician about what you are feeling.
