I have collapsed x2 after getting pacemaker my cardiologist will not see me until the 21st June . His recommendation is to keep going to a&e if I collapse again.

So I cannot get any more tests until after the 21st June

Hi Sam, are you contacting your cardiologist or your pacemaker clinic? If the former, try ringing your clinic, it could be your settings need tweaking. Mine did and I now feel a lot better.

I have contacted them twice and they keep telling me the settings are ok. I feel worse than I did before, but noone is listening to me. They just tell me to keep going to A&E, this cant be right.

That must be so frustrating, it’s not like you’re going to make up something like that. Their attitude stinks. Hope you get it sorted soon.

I have also collapsed after having mine fitted and pacemaker check revealed nothing so don't know where to go from here. Would be interested to hear how you get on in June
