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

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.

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

Post Pace and Ablate now diagnosed with Heart Failure
Eventually had an EKG …which showed I had
Pacemaker
Syndrome…the top half of the heart was in sinus Rythm but bottom half not…unusual apparently…I thought great we have an answer as to breathless which was now pretty constant and awful fatigue.

Pacemaker
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.

dbs and massage chairs
THis might sound trival but I cannot find a good full massage chair which is
pacemaker
/DBS friendly. They all exclude people with these devices. Same goes for vibration plates. I get it, they both emit electromagnetic fields. So does my microwave and phone.

Extreme fatigue 2 years after valve replacement
And a
pacemaker
fitted. I have been well since but in the last month I have started to get breathless (not too bad) and extreme fatigue. After 12hrs sleep I struggle out if bed and by lunchtime I am so exhausted. I am worried my valve is failing again, any ideas?

Being off eliquis for surgery
how is being off Eliquis for 3 days handled for
pacemaker
battery change. Is another drug used to prevent stroke possibility? How challenging is it to have the PM battery changed? I have AF & Arterial Flutter. I am mildly symptomatic. I'm on Eliquis 5 mg twice a day.

Pace Maker lead caused Valve complications post TAVI
My mother recently had a TAVI procedure which resulted in her requiring an emergency permanent
pacemaker
fitted. Since being discharged (a day after her Op) her breathlessness has limited her ability to even make it to the toilet.

living with AF
I am also considering having a
pacemaker
fitted so I can improve my quality of life and exercise without a relatively acute shortness of breath at high periods of exertion. Has anyone else experienced this, how have you coped and has anyone opted to have a
pacemaker
?

dilated left ventricle informed over the phone (heart failure) 1 week ago
aprox a month ago I was sent for a echocardiogram to check my heart (routine every 5years ) as my father has a
pacemaker
since the age of 50 and 5years ago had an aortic aneurysm. 5 years ago I had the same scan which was all clear.

information to share
I am sharing because I got a
pacemaker
just a month ago. Obviously those of us with one should be aware. They warned to keep the phone away from us, but I am curious how much more damage could happen with this is part of the case

Annual pace maker check
Pleased to report, all's good in the world of my
pacemaker
, got about 4years battery life left in it. Anyone else feel a bit freaked out when they slow down and then speed up your heart? It gets me every time, even though I know it's coming 😳
