Follow up Visits?

 

Keep regular appointments with your doctor. These visits are necessary to interrogate your pacemaker and adjust its settings, if necessary. Modern pacemaker batteries lose their charge very gradually. Your doctor will know when your pulse generator needs to be replaced. Most treatments do not harm pacemakers. However, some can interfere with their function. If you consult a doctor, dentist, physiotherapist or any other health professional, always let them know that you have a pacemaker, even if the visit is unrelated to your heart.
