What do the pacemaker people say? Can they adjust it and make sure it is working properly.

Hi,

Bobs right maybe you need it tweeked you should be having it checked every six months,I had mine in November followed by an ablation in February and due a second check in August.

Mine seems to be ok as I feel great but these checks are done for that reason.

Hope you get sorted.

Really nice to hear from you poppystorey but not so good that things aren't quite right, nor that there have been delays. I do hope you can get it sorted quickly.

Mine was the other way round. Ablation followed by pacemaker. You pacemaker clinic should be able to sort things out for you. Good luck.

mine is checked yearly but you should have number for pacemaker clinic for any problems good luck

How good is that! Hope it works.

I had my pacemaker fitted whilst having a ablation 8 months ago. I was getting very breathless before the procedures but things have got better although I do still have days where I struggle but they are far and few between.
