Oocha and icd placement.
I ended up going to a wonderful hospital where I eventually was fitted with an
ICD
, and discovered that I have myocarditis. Unfortunately 2.5 weeks later i was back in because the atrial wires were not in the correct place.

ICD Firing
I’ve recently (6 weeks ago) had a
icd
fitted for VT. I am also in stubborn AF. This was all very sudden. I’m a 46 year old who has been active and fit previously. Last Wednesday I was out for a light run, and the
ICD
fired as my AF triggered it.

Guidance needed for decision making of implanting ICD
I have met few Cardiologists in India and I have got a mixed response in suggestion for an
ICD
Some says its Critical, and some says its my choice and I can choose not to have it I need some guidance into if I should get an
ICD
and will it be a wise decision?

A FIB
Even though I have a recent
ICD
fitted. My cardiologist has advised I take Amioderone for a while until an Ablation is available,which will take a while as there is a long wait for this. This medication can have severe side effects. Any advice would be welcome.

ICD AND DRIVING
Hi All, What's the score with driving with an
ICD
. I Have received conflicting advice. I believe you have to stop for 1 month after device fitting if
icd
fitted for precautionary reason or you had a ventricular arrhythmia without incapacity? I understand otherwise if shocked 6 month driving ban?

How long for the intense pain of an ICD install to ease?
Had my
ICD
installation this morning. Oh my days, it feels like I have a spear through my shoulder ( or how I imagine that would feel anyway!) Consultant said worst pain lasts a week, please tell me he exaggerated, and it won't be too bad in a few days 🤔

travelling with an ICD
I haven’t flown since my
ICD
was implanted. Do security need any particular proof? I have my card with the device details but wondered if I need a letter from the hospital. I’m flying to Italy from Gatwick.

ICD,s
My partner has recently been fitted with an
ICD
in rather a fast manner following a call to attend A& E when this Heart Loop Recorder noted a 10 second Ventricular Standstill. He was unaware of this until his heart monitor team called but down the line he was fitted with an
ICD
that day.

ICD site sore
Hey all.I've had my
ICD
for almost 3 years now. Just wondering if anyone gets random soreness around the site? I don't get it all the time but sometimes it feels bruised or like I'm being pinched. It's very uncomfortable when it happens, also it can be anytime of the day.
