are you being funny

[MichaelJH Heart Star in reply to lozzo]

No way! I got woken by people going down the road who had had one o we the eight. I then decided to nip to the toilet and plug in my phone. As I did so I thought I would check for messages, and glanced at this site and so saw your post. As you were both short of breath and seemed to be suffering HR issues I thought it best to reply there and then.

Did you call 111 or 999? And what outcome?

[lozzo in reply to MichaelJH]

ok sorry about I sat for a few hours then I was ok thanks for replying

[MichaelJH Heart Star]

Do update us when you are able. Being unwell during the darkest hours is not pleasant?

[lozzo in reply to MichaelJH]

What is your diagnosis that you are getting a pacemaker for?

[lozzo in reply to ling]

having a pacemaker because my heartbeat is low if I start walking about the beat goes down because I not getting enough oxygen pumped around my body so when pacemaker is fit ed my beat will be at 60 also ill be taking betablockers to keep my heart beating at sixty then ill feel a lot better than I do now this is happening 29th. of this month thanks for replying when the hearbeat goes in the twenties this is dangerous and I feel terrible

Deeply empathise.

My mother's getting hers on the 31st. She has sick sinus syndrome with slow and fast heart rate but mainly slow heart rate with sinus pauses now slightly more than 3 secs which happens both during sleep and in the day time. This is the main reason, plus her age, the cardio wants to fit the pacemaker. Otherwise, all her other symptoms do not sound like SSS symptoms.

I wish u all the best for the op. I'm sure you'll feel better once it's done. I'm praying that for my mother as well : ) God bless you!
