Yes - I have an RST - resynchronisation, bi-ventricular pacemaker and it I have had fantastic improvement in my QOL. I posted a link to the AA webinar about RST pacemakers a few days ago. I’ll repost on a new thread.

Have you been assessed for pacemaker and is it a possibility for you?

Yes pills not keeping afib at bay or even a low heart rate, cardiology Dr said its our last resort. Waiting for a scan and monitor fitted then back to specialist for discussion on pacemaker

Hope you get some relief soon Brill. I have a pacemaker, it solved my low heart rate and fainting but I have breathlessness when I try to do anything very physical, I put it down to my permanent AF and try to just manage to do physical work at a slow pace. It's so hard on QOL! Wish you the best, Tom
