Pacemaker Club: what are the symptoms of SVS?
what are the symptoms of SVS?
I have had a Dual Chamber Pacemaker for 7 years. I have recently been having Fullness, Pressure, & Redness of my Faace & Neck when I lean forward or pick up objects. My doctor ordered a Chest CT Scan which was read as normal, but the symptoms persist. Anyone had similar probablems with Pacemaker?
Ever curious, I looked up SVS. Could find nothing that related to humans. Is SVS a typo? or maybe you could tell us what SVS stands for.
Swelling of the face,neck, arms. Dusky redness of the face.Worse when you bend forwards. Blurred vision. Headache.
Suggest vascular ultrasound may be helpful?
Just came across your post re red face. I had something that may have.been similar but I never did find out why. It was a good few years ago.now but my face.was very.red and looked swollen when I got up.out of bed. Also, like you, if I leant or looked down my face was.bright red.until.I stood up. Did you ever get an answer to.why.this happened? I didn't ever know why it happened altho I asked a few different medical departments. Perhaps mine just went away or meds changed (long time ago so cannot recall). I have an ICD and heart failure. I often wonder if it was fluid retention.
