Default Spinal cord stimulator problems...

Hello all!

My wife has had a spinal cord stimulator for a number of years as the result of an accident. Periodically she would have severe pain in the heart area, difficulty breathing, feeling faint (occasionally passing out), sort of mild stroke symptoms (out of it, slow thinking, dizzy). These seem to last a couple of days and then everything's ok. She's been in the hospital many times recently and they verified it's not a heart issue.

Just recently I noticed a definite correlation between when she charges her stimulator and then the next day she has these symptoms. Has anyone ever heard of these issues with stimulators? Thoughts?

Thanks!
Lorne
