Hi Kilrus, I had a CRT device fitted in December and it did take quite a while before the big improvement kicked in. I felt somewhat better quite quickly (After a few weeks) but had become so ill beforehand that it took me maybe two months before I really noticed a big difference. This showed in me being able to do things without being instantly breathless, eg going upstairs, walking and talking at the same time, walking more quickly etc. Because of the current situation, I haven’t been able to get much fitter yet but am hopeful this will improve too. I hope things go well for you.
