Pacemaker surgery
Hello everyone I am likely to be having a
pacemaker
fitting soon and the idea of the surgery is really freaking me out. I think it's because it's done under local anaesthetic and so I'll see them doing it. For people that have had the surgery, how was it and how did you feel afterwards?

Waiting times........
A Clinical Physiology visit yielded the new that my
Pacemaker
check showed that the battery level dictated a replacement. Aware of the national discussions about waiting times I naturally asked the obvious question and was reassured with "2-3 weeks". !!

High vagal tone.

but it's still ongoing.

Palpations at the same time every night
I have a
pacemaker
crt device as of May 2023 for heart failure. I previously had a
pacemaker
(not crt) since 2016 for complete heart block. The causes for both are unknown. I was 18 when I got my first
pacemaker
and 25 when I got the CRT.

Boston Scientific latitude monitor
I had a
pacemaker
fitted 4 weeks ago and was provided with one of these which is plugged into my bedroom as suggested. I am going away on 4th May and wondered if you are supposed to take this monitor with you. If so, do I put it in my hand luggage to my suitcase. Hopefully someone can tell me.

MTHFR and Lupus
No one ever checked my homocysteine level until after I had Complete Heart Block and was implanted with a
Pacemaker
/defibulator. I have always felt that if the MTHFR was diagnosed before all the other autoimmune diseases, I may never have progressed to so many issues.

Pacemaker and ultrasonic repellers
Just wondered if its safe to use an ultrasonic pest repeller in a house with a
pacemaker
resident? The manufacturer says check with a doctor - I guess they are covering themselves

moving pacemaker
August 2023 I had a
pacemaker
fitted after a heart attack. September the
pacemaker
moved. I called the hospital and was told if I am not in pain everything is okay. The
pacemaker
has since moved again and is pressing on my skin leaving a bruise.

Sinus arrest
Good morning I wondered whether there is anyone on here who is in their 30s or 40s and has had a
pacemaker
fitted as they have bradycardia and sinus arrest? I recently found out that I have sinus arrest and am feeling very anxious about the
pacemaker
fitting.
