Hi , I also have heart block ( trifisacular) and like yourself had a pacemaker fitted as an emergency completely out of the blue. It took some getting used to initially and had to have a few settings changed and meds tweaked but eventually everything settled down and i just try and carry on as normal. Hope your getting on okay.

Yes same as you, small medication change and hoping for adjustment in a few weeks.

hi it takes awhile to get back to normal after the pacemaker. I was back walking within a few months. It depends on the reason for having it fitted. I had no symptoms prior to being told I needed one. 2years on and I do weekly 10 mile walks and 1 hour a week with a personal trainer plus some Pilates. Just have had to adjust some movements owing to prominent position of the pacemaker. Take it easy no point rushing it.
