Hi everyone.
Not having a great time.
Pace maker fitted for intermittent 2nd degree heart block in September. Didn’t seem to solve my breathlessness. So went to see cardiologist privately. Underwent stress test which I performed with no problems and no intervention from my pace maker. Cardiologist was happy my heart could operate well in higher heart rates , mine got up to 153 no symptoms. Had angiogram in May showed mild CAD.
Last week had the upper pace rate limiter on PM raised to 155. Since then had two episodes when with mild fairly sudden activity my heart has jumped up to 120 immediately. Causing me to feel unwell and a slight central chest pain. Ended up in A&E, they are now saying I’m suffering from angina. Get pain when I am at rest as well centrally and left side not crushing or intense.
It seems odd that I can perform a stress test well then two weeks later be immobilised with angina.
Any help, experiences or ideas please night time I’d becoming very frightening. Thank you all.
Thank
