There is quite a lot about ICDs on BHF forum. Not that common here I fear.
Hello, yes had one fitted after a cardiac arrest eight years ago, just had it changed a few weeks ago (nothing wrong it was just nearing the end of its life).
Why do you ask?
Yes I have one
I had it fitted after a cardiac arrest at home. If my heart rate goes too low it paces it. If my heart rate goes too high for a length of time it shocks me.
so it "shocks" you like a cardioversion? Ive heard those are done under anesthesia. What happens when you are driving a car and you package goes off???
Why do you ask that?
I am on Medications too
