Pace maker newbee and FREAKING out

[cherrieberrie]

I had ablation march 27 for afib/futter, I starting having blackouts and heart rate going to low. Had a pacemaker in April 30. when to ep for check up. He said some numbers I don't understand, maybe someone can help. The top lead number is 8 (which is good) but the lead going to the bottom of heart is 2. He said he is just watching it and having me come back June 7 and to see what it is doing. I am so very careful about not moving my arm. I am now afraid he will have to re-do it. He said the bottom lead may have move a very tiny bit. I hate all of this, will it ever end. has anyone else faced this before?

Please just try to relax and wait for your appointment. I know it's really hard but it will all be ok in the end. Just got to get sorted out. Anxiety will only make you feel worse,and wont change anything, i know this to be true xx If you are still worried ring your doctors secretary and tell her your fears they usually try to help and pass messages on to the doctor.Godwilling look after yourself xxxx
