I would say give it a couple more weeks at least. Check with your cardio team as to how long before your bits are bedded in.

My appointment for the pacing clinic isn’t till end January. Follow up by a cardiologist hasn’t been forthcoming- is that because of covid? Or do we not see cardiologists now only pacing clinic? Happy Christmas.
