Hey everyone - I got diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy June last year - had various tests and been told I don’t need a heart transplant now but need to be monitored and reviewed each 6 months.
My specialist now has come back and said I need an ICD installed - whilst it’s not an emergency they want it done sooner rather than later.
Does anyone have any experience of having one installed, recovery time, how they feel? Would be great to talk to someone about it.
Hi I've got cadiomypathy n had a icd fitted still working full time was of work 6 weeks when had it fitted
Yeah that’s what they said 6 weeks need to be off. How long ago was that? You mind me asking how it feels?
Jan 2017 sore at first it feels weird for a bit but I suppose you get used to it lol
