The monster has struck!
All my monitors were removed in the morning including the temporary
pacemaker
and ECG. I went for a couple of walks on the ward which went quite well. I checked my pulse rate manually afterwards and all was steady at about 70bpm.

Pernicious Anemia and Endicrine
This past summer it was discovered that I needed a
pacemaker
and one was implanted. I feel I have benefited from those treatments, but I still generally feel crappy. Recently I went into Google Scholar, a research-database search engine, and entered the search terms "B12 endocrine".

How frequent
According to my latest
pacemaker
check I am now in AF for 20% of the time and the effect is taking more of a toll on me both mentally and physically . I was offered an ablation several years ago but turned it down for several reasons . Is now the time to reconsider my choice

A Huge Thanks!
I’m on a “temporary
pacemaker
”-it showed “underlying sinus rhythm “ when they looked at it this morning (what the heart would be doing if the
pacemaker
were not supporting it). It will take 24hrs for the anaesthetic to wear off.

CRT-D device and Ablation? Advice please.
Cardiologist is going to put me on Amiodarone tablets along side the device then after some time will stop the
pacemaker
part to see if the tablets do the same job. Then depending on results will do an ablation to the left lower ventricle to get rid of the part of the heart that isn’t working.

Pace and Ablate update
It has now been seven months since I had my AV node ablation following having a
pacemaker
fitted in March and I thought I would just let you know how things are now. Hopefully this will also help those of you who may have to have the Pace and Ablate procedure next year.

Atrial Fibrillation.
The latter would not help the tiredness/fatigue if this is caused by the af but would help with palpitations - although the af would not be targeted, the pulse would not respond to the af by racing, because the pulse would be controlled by the
pacemaker
.

Feeling heart beating/pacemaker?
Is it my
pacemaker
kicking in that I can feel and has anyone had experience of this. It’s very disconcerting and I can’t forget that I have a heart condition because of it..if you know what I mean.

Pacemakers
I'm a hand-cycling Paraplegic, about to have a
Pacemaker
fitted followed by an AV Node Ablation and interested to hear from any other paraplegic about how they handled the minimum movement of left arm / left pectoral during the 4 to 6 week settling in period for the leads, prior to the ablation

Fear and despair AV-Node may not help with my problem
I've always had hope that a
pacemaker
plus AV-node ablation might be a last resort when all medications stop working and even "normal" ablation fails. But now I read that exactly this feeling will not stop after pace&ablate. Why not?

Urinary Retention after Radiation
I thought that I might get used to it, but it does cause quite a bit of pain and discomfort, so I don't think this is a sustainable solution. 2) A permanent catheter. 3) "Sacral Neuromodulation" procedure, which is a device implanted that acts like a '
pacemaker
' for the bladder.

Pacemaker implanted yesterday - Thanks
After tests decided not to do a CRT but a dual chamber ancillary biotronik
pacemaker
. Be easy to add third lead if needed later. Not sure if in there already but prob not. I think they tried with it in. So paced at 60bpm.

Pacemaker pulse felt at the site after regular check
I have had a
pacemaker
fitted for five year and after a recent check I am feeling a pulse in the area of the unit. This has now only occured. Has anyone had experience of this happening, it does not happen all the time and if so what causes this to happen.

Bradycardia
For this reason and my on-going symptoms it was decided I would have an implantable loop recorder to keep an eye on things as he said he would need to be really certain that a
pacemaker
is the right thing to do for someone my age. I am due to have that just after Christmas.

Protein deficiency and B12?
In July of 2022 I had a
pacemaker
implanted, and additional symptoms improved, while others did not, reappearing some days but not others, and again I suspected that something else was going on.
