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.

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.😔

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

Over 2 Litres or Not???
I am getting a
pacemaker
and defrillator on Wednesday, cant wait till it's over, i've never been anywhere near an operating theatre in my life, but that's beside the point. My problems were discovered 2 months and i was immediately put on the 2 litres of fluids a day.

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

angiogram fear
I have had a
pacemaker
fitted and had to have it without sedation. But staff talk to me all the time to distract me, and it really helped.. I have bad shoulders, and I’m not sure I can hold my arms above my head for the required time. Are your arms outstretched?

Induction Hobs
I read on the manual that people with a
pacemaker
or other electrical appliance fitted must not use an induction hob. I have two mechanical (St Judes) valves, fitted in 2021. Am I alright to use this hob, or do I need to purchase a different type of hob?

pacemaker and a Fitbit
Last Thursday I had a
pacemaker
fitted and during the operation I asked the nurse who was chatting to me if I could continue wearing a Fitbit. She reassured me I could except I had read contradicting advice on various websites.

Music as coping strategy
does anyone else here have any experience of having a
pacemaker
/scid fitted and knows if it is safe to continue to play an electric pipe organ without it affecting the performance/settings of their device!?

Pacing clinic appointment
Also recently been prescribed bisoporol again, will the
pacemaker
settings need to be tweaked to take into account a decrease in HR?

Had my Pre-op this morning for my
Pacemaker
Box/Batteries replacement. It went well enough, my bloods including INR were fine, although there was concern over ongoing breathlessness and the extent of fluid retention in my lungs and chest cavity.
