Pacemaker
My partner had a
pacemaker
fitted when we were on holiday in Spain but they never gave him a card. We are now going to travel again and may need a card of some kind at the airport, not sure what to do.

How to go through airport security with a pacemaker/ICD?
They prefer you to show your
pacemaker
card and use the hand-held security wand. However if the wand is held over your peacemaking for too long, the wand could temporary affect your
pacemaker
. Do we have the right to opt for the hand-pat search?

Update on "thumping"
Update as promised on the recent "thumping" as my CRT
pacemaker
kicks in. Went to my appointment at the
pacemaker
clinic on Monday and explained that I was getting this quite drastic "thumping" on my left side as the
pacemaker
kicked in. This after 5 years with no problem.

This
pacemaker
even picks up when I am doing something more active such as walking or exercising and it will readjust itself. I am not going to try another ablation I’m tired of wasting time.

A help line that works! Wow what a surprise.
Some of you will know that last September I had a
pacemaker
installed. At the time of my six week checkup the centre told me that I would have a bedside monitor box that would read my PM and relay any problems to the clinic but that they were out of stock.

Normality after Pacemaker fitted.
I had been in hospital for small bowel blockages when they found Bradycardia and after all tests I was fitted with the
pacemaker
. This is where it goes downhill. I started getting very tired and lethargic, short of breath on normal exertion, stairs, uphill etc..

sciatica and no urge to move bowel
What makes that even worse is I’d need a mri scan to see what’s going on which would be fine but I have a
pacemaker
so that needs to be taken out first! im in total agony if I move right now I normally take a binder because I have bile acid diarrhoea Merry Christmas 🎄

pacemaker?
and said I’d probably need a
pacemaker
. Anxiety is through the roof now and scared I’m going to have a cardiac arrest in the night. I had a heart attack 5 years ago but given the all clear from that. Any reassuring words welcome!

permanent atrial fibrillation for two years so what now ?
I had thought a
pacemaker
might work but this has been dismissed as not suitable. I‘m on 1.25 Bisoprolol daily and Apixaban (a blood thinner ) twice daily. I’m a 76 yr old grandmother and have a fairly active life but am concerned now that I’m not able to exercise properly .

Travel Insurance
Hi, I have recently had a
pacemaker
fitted and need to renew travel insurance. Can anyone recommend good insurance companies for multi trip cover?

Urinary Retention after Radiation
I thought that I might get used to it, but it does cause quite a bit of pain and discomfort, so I don't think this is a sustainable solution. 2) A permanent catheter. 3) "Sacral Neuromodulation" procedure, which is a device implanted that acts like a '
pacemaker
' for the bladder.

CRT-D device and Ablation? Advice please.
Cardiologist is going to put me on Amiodarone tablets along side the device then after some time will stop the
pacemaker
part to see if the tablets do the same job. Then depending on results will do an ablation to the left lower ventricle to get rid of the part of the heart that isn’t working.

Diltiazem alternatives for my mother?
I believe she is too old to cope with a
pacemaker
/ablation although her cardiologist persists in offering it. I don't think she would come out of the anaesthetic very well - she is already suffering from some brain haemorrages. ANYHOW... that's not my question...

Need some advice please folks.
Family members are telling me to contact my gp or cardiology team to highlight it and get things moving but I've had all the test done, been diagnosed with the mentioned symptoms been fitted with an ilr which is being monitored and awaiting results to see if I need a
pacemaker
so I've not been forgotten

AF and IBS
Waiting to see if a
pacemaker
will help and new meds. I've suffered with IBS for over 10 years, recently had endoscopic tests because of weight loss..... all clear. I'm posting to ask if any of you with AF and IBS have been offered amatripoline.

How can I manage persistent AF
I am in UK and have had paroxysmal AF for a few years and was prescribed Flecainide and Bisoprolol but also had a
Pacemaker
fitted in July 2020 because of a low resting heart rate (normally 50 but loop recorder showed some drop to mid 30s overnight).

pace and ablate and the rationale of doing it
I hate even more so final another troubling factor is my Dad died at 68 of a heart attack New Year’s Day I’m 68 in January My
pacemaker
is due to be implanted 21st December I think it’s best to delay this procedure Until I’m in the right head space

The monster has struck!
All my monitors were removed in the morning including the temporary
pacemaker
and ECG. I went for a couple of walks on the ward which went quite well. I checked my pulse rate manually afterwards and all was steady at about 70bpm.

Anyone have an experience with Pacemaker Syndrome
Has anyone had to have your
pacemaker
adjusted. If so, what was your experience and how is this done?
