Why would a pacemaker stop working?
Why would a pacemaker stop working?
A pacemaker can go wrong if: the lead gets pulled out of position. the battery of the pulse generator fails. the circuits that control the pacemaker are damaged after being exposed to strong magnetic fields.
What are signs that a pacemaker is malfunctioning?
Symptoms of pacemaker failure or malfunction include:
- Dizziness or lightheadedness.
- Fainting or loss of consciousness.
- Feeling like your heart is fluttering (palpitations)
- Hard time breathing.
- Slow or fast heart rate, or a combination of both.
- Constant twitching of muscles in the chest or abdomen.
- Frequent hiccups.
What does pacer not pacing mean?
Output Failure. A failure of output is suspected if the heart rate is below the programmed lower rate of the pacemaker and no pacer electrical output is noted on the electrocardiogram (ECG)—that is, pacing spikes are absent.Oct 1, 2016
