Pacemaker to parkrun
I’m not a fast runner but enjoy a jog around 5k each Saturday & sometimes volunteer as the Tail Walker to get the exercise. Are there many other park runners with pacemakers? I had mine fitted just over 6 weeks ago and I’m not sure what I can do

HOW EFFECTIVE ARE PACEMAKERS FOR AF.
He had a
Pacemaker
fitted, "one of the most modern" he stated. No further problems reported. If a
pacemaker
helps with AFib it is simple to fit. Comments welcome. Hugo40

Anyone had pacemaker fitted privately in U.K.?
So I've had a recent ultrasound and the technician did think I would be a
pacemaker
candidate. But after 4 weeks I've not had any written info but more appointments by phone. In the meantime I'm have bad episodes with heart rate dropping to 25. Called paramedics!

Subsidiary pacemaker exists in heart cells
I knew that every cell in our hearts is capable of producing an electrical signal but I found this article interesting in its possible view of future pacemaking. https://theconversation.com/backup-

Has anyone had a pacemaker fitted with the following;
I would love to try a
pacemaker
because it seems my only hope to having a bit of life right now. I was given dioxin but hospital phoned and told me not to take it because bp very low 80 /40 at most.

Help and advice please.
Father in law had a fall inside his bungalow, fell backwards onto a hard wood floor, the fall was attributed to heart arrhythmia, he had a
pacemaker
fitted for this. The fall caused a bleed on the brain, which it was decided by the neurosurgeon did not require an operation.

Mother in hospital with cardiac issues - thyroid patient
Her current results are: TSH: 0.30 (0.38-5.33) Free T3: 5.7 (3.5-6.2) Free T4: 4.5 (8-16) They now want to reduce her T3 further and they are discussing fitting a
pacemaker
. Of course her cardiac issues could be unrelated but it all seems strange timing to me.

Do I report AF to the DVLA/DVSA?
They are already aware of my
pacemaker
and the online form only mentions the fitting of an ICD, not AF.

AF out of the blue
I’ve printed the ecg off to show the pacing clinic when I go for my annual
pacemaker
check in 2 weeks time. I’m hoping
pacemaker
recorded it!! The last few days I’ve had a lot of high heart rates at rest I should have realised it may go into AF.
