I am 5 days into my Stim trial. I am 42 and otherwise healthy. I take a very low dose of Atenenol (beta blocker) for a slight heart arythmia, we believe a result of stress. When I turn my stim up I am having noticable funky heart rythmns. Does anyone else have that?
Tracey,
I know nothing about this subject with intestim, but I do have PVC irregular heart palpataions.. This does not sound normal please call your doctor...

No I do not, but I do think you need to contact your doctor asap, not to mention shut it off. I have never heard of this before, but it dose not sound good to me. please keep us posted.

Tracey I used to have a interstim in me and I did not had that problem when I the interstim in me. YOU NEED TO TURN YOUR INTERSTIM OFF, AND CALL YOUR PRIMARY DOCTOR ASAP!!!!!!

I have IC, the IBS, Heartburn, High bloodpressure,thyrod problems, depression and clorties pain.
I would call your doctor right away an alert him/her to this situation and see what he/she says. Also contact the doctor who did your stim implant and tell him/her what is going on. I hope you feel better soon.

My Dr. told me to turn the unit off for the rest of the day and try an extra beta blocker. Actually she said I could leave it off since it hasn't worked with any of the changes we've made. At first it stopped my urethral spasms and SI pain, but those have both returned :-(
Instead of taking this out or putting in a permanent on June 4th, she suggested I have Stage 1 repeated on the opposite side. I'm going to try it since I've gone this far I might as well try every chance available.
I really REALLY want this to be my answer.
I appreciate all the input from others. Thank you!
