What could cause prickly hands,feet,vibration sensitivity in a pacemaker patient?
Patient: i had a pacemaker put in april last year, heart had slowed to 20bpm. i am on 10mg lisenopril and 3.125 mg 2day of carvedilol. since september , I have been experiencing prickly hands and feet and vibration sensitivity. I usually weight 152=154 have gained substantial now weight 175. I went got pacemaker tested, I thought maybe a lead was undone. They said everything fine. is this serious, or just something to get used to, I wasn t having this problem before september, I used a pr hairclippers to cut my sons hair, and it seems to have stayed. If you have any suggestions it would be helpful. Doctor: Dear, your problems seem unlikely related to pacemaker!This is more of symptoms related to neuropathy that means weakness of the nerves. This could be due to multiple reasons ranging from dietary deficiencies of micro or macro nutrients to structural damage of the nerves.I would advice you to consult with your physician and get the basic blood investigations done like Blood sugar fasting and PP, vit B12 and folate levels. And accordingly may need vitamin supplements and other nerve strengthening agents.
