I have a history of total collapse and this has continued after having a
pacemaker
fitted so i now havr an ILR as well. I used the device yesterday because i felt lightheaded (not dizzy), was short of breath and had intermittent nausea, which lasted a few hours.

My First Pacemaker Followup
Today was my first real follow up with my EP since the fitting of my
pacemaker
and AV node ablation done on February 13 and 27th. I have not been feeling 100% although much much better than before all of this.

Left sided breast pain . Costochondritis or heart ?
I have a
pacemaker
on my left side so I don’t know if it’s caused by costo or if it’s from my
pacemaker
. At times the pain feels as if it’s from my heart , it shoots up from below my breast and feels quite deep inside behind breast and goes to heart area .

Just for background I already have a dual chamber
pacemaker
implanted due to severe sinus bradycardia. However the paroxysmal AF has not got any better with medication hence the ablation being done shortly.

Supplements for arthritis and rivaoxaban
Hi all My husband has paroxysmal AF and a
pacemaker
takes digoxin and Rivaoxaban. He has slight arthritis in both knees(too much playing hockey in his younger days!) and not bad enough to take painkillers all the time. Bothers him the most after sitting for a while and then moving again.

ADHD Clutter vs. Hoarding
Bad side effects, and now with a
pacemaker
, it's just not possible. If I had it my way, we'd move to a smaller apartment where the property maintenance is done by the owners. But I looked this past week, and the cheapest 2BR are $500 more than we pay here!

Digoxin Advice
I am on a few different drugs including bisoprolil/perindipril & Apixaban for dilated cardiomyopathy and then I got AF, a cardioversion didnt work and the cardiologist said I was heading for a
pacemaker
but he wanted to try Digoxin which has worked great for years.

Af Ablation
I am currently 20% paced with a dual
pacemaker
. Due to have an AF Ablation soon. I have come across someone saying that after the procedure we will be 100% paced however I can't seem to find any literature on this anywhere. Would appreciate if anyone can explain this. Thankyou

NSR...out of the blue!!
The plan was to switch from rhythm control to rate control meds, to go on heart failure meds (EF 43% on mri/ 53% on echo) and hope that this will hold things a few years with the probability of a
pacemaker
after that.

95% Paced
If you are 95% paced, does it mean you would die without the
pacemaker
. And does the battery run down faster.

Long Term Bisoprolol and effects
Just wondering the other day what my resting heart rate was before I started taking the Bisoprolol and if you ever stop taking the drug is there any long term effects in terms of modifying your natural
pacemaker
. I started on 5mg in 2012 and kept on that for 6 years at least.

Bicuspid MRI result
subsequently stayed on the cardiac ward for 5 days after discovering enlarged heart and an EF of less than 20% I'm on all the usual medication but my MRI has shown little or no improvement (around 7 weeks on the meds) my EF is now 25% so personally I see that as an improvement but consultant has advised

Morning I have a
pacemaker
and wondered how going through airport security works. Are they any steps I need to complete beforehand? Can I go through normal body scanners or am I exempt? Do I need a Drs note for exemption? Any advice on travelling via Eurostar and/or flying welcomed.
