I was very ill for some time after and a week later needed to have a permanent
pacemaker
fitted. There were other difficulties which meant I was unable to travel home until 5th February.

Thin skin and bruising
I have a
pacemaker
and was put on Sintrom in March this year as I have AF. I am finding I bruise really easily and also I get scrapes and scratches in my skin that I don't know what I have done. Is there anything I can do to: Help with the bruises?

Advice on TENS machine.
Does anyone know if you can use a TENS machine if you have a
pacemaker
? I am struggling with osteo-arthritis.

AV Node Ablation
I had this procedure done on 6 October and I have an appointment next Friday at the
Pacemaker
Clinic for my PM to be re-programed to 70 bpm and then 4 weeks later reduced again to 60 bpm. What I want to know is when and how I can reduce my medication - currently 160mg x 2 daily of Sotolol.

Update and Plan
He said worst case scenario, if it just gets worse and worse, he could do an AV node ablation and
pacemaker
, but that is obviously his last choice for options. He seemed to understand that the meds may just be a stop gap and that ultimately, I will be back in the EP lab.

An Eventful January
Week 4 - Monday,
Pacemaker
pre-op. Tuesday, new
pacemaker
to be fitted, looking forward to having the op done and dusted. Although I have this nagging doubt that something will come up in the pre-op that may delay things.

Postural/orthostatic Hypotension
I have now found an article where these symptoms were relieved completely by their EP adjusting their
PaceMaker
Rate Response sensitivity & told to tap their
Pacemaker
to simulate activity & speed up their HR for 10 minutes whenever they felt dizziness!

Slow heart rate
One electrophysiologist wants me to have a
pacemaker
and another (for a second opinion) says I don't need one. I function very well during the day, have a good night's sleep and am not fatigued.

Replacement pacemaker lead
Is the recovery time similar to that of having a
pacemaker
put in? I’m a teacher and wondering when I could go back into work. I also run and would like to know how long I should leave it before exercising again. And finally, is it another month off driving? thanks all.

pacemaker question
my uncle is doing very well but getting odd shocks and tonight had a strong one. He said it’s still tender, he does have AF so would expect him to get shocks. He is only 9 months post double bypass and valve repair. He is trying to walk but weather hasn’t helped. He’s got a 24 hour monitor on Sunday

Swapping Rasagiline for Safinamide - Hobson’s Choice or out of the frying pan and into the fire?
I have a
pacemaker
and take Atorvastatin and Ramipril for heart issues. Now the pharmacy says Rasagiline is in short supply in the UK and likely to become unobtainable.

Low Heart Rate
I think I may be a candidate for a
pacemaker
after all. But I had excellent advice from everyone and I will discuss all my options. I don't have any dizziness thank goodness but the low energy makes me very lazy and just not feeling myself. Feeling a bit down.😔

AV nodeablation!
The only thing that puts me off is the fact that I will be totally reliant on the
pacemaker
! Thoughts please!

Just been fitted with two lead
pacemaker
. Diagnosed with Tachy/brady and also put on sotalol beta blockers. Everybody keeps saying I should feel so much better but I don't. I am just left with no energy. I am usually very fit.
