Are pacemakers effective at stopping atrial fibrillation
I have atrial fibrillation and would like to know if a
pacemaker
would be better than having an ablation to eliminate the problem.

Pacemaker Newbie
Hi All, I know it's not very common having a
pacemaker
fitted in your 20s, but i was just wondering how soon i can get back to normality? I am moving my arm and the wound is healing well, but i want to go outside and run. It's been 2 weeks and physically i'm ok, but mentally i'm going mad.

I have a pacemaker and wondered if anyone could recommend an exercise bike? I've read that magnets in bikes can be an issue.

Coronavirus and Congenital Heart Disease / Pacemaker
Does anybody know the risks for Coronavirus for a 38 year old with a congenital heart condition and
pacemaker
? All the info I can find relates to older people with underlying issues...

Pacemaker due to pauses in heart beat
Have any of you been given a
pacemaker
due to pauses in heart beats? I have had pauses when going in or out of rhythm. Recently had pause while in sinus rhythm. Cardiologist recommending
pacemaker
. Wondering if any of you have had
pacemaker
for this and how your recovery went. Thank you

Corona virus
Rely on my
pacemaker
100 percent. I work full time in a small office with people coming in and out. Should I keep going to work or stay at home and self isolate. I don't think I would get paid but surely my health comes first Please advise x

It breaks my heart
My Dad is diabetic and has a
pacemaker
and my mum has had heart bypass surgery. Having an MPN I also have lower white cells, but am in very good health. I'm so unsure what to do and it's breaking my heart!

Pacing clinic
Have just had my 2 year
pacemaker
check up, and have found out that I'm being paced 97% of the time (this is explains why I can't tell when the pm kicks in!)

Arm pain after pacemaker implant.
I'm 3 week post op and am still experiencing a gnawing pain in my upper arm which is worse at night and wakes me up often. I've been trying to get my arm moving more after trying to guard it for the first couple of weeks. Anyone experienced similar? Hoping it will gradually fade.. Thanks, Dan.

Coronavirus - vulnerability
I have a
pacemaker
for Sinus Bradychardia. Otherwise luckily, in good health. Does that put me in the the high risk group if I get Coronavirus COVID 19?

Underlying heart rate what is it?
My consultant today said that my
pacemaker
recorded my underlying heart rate as 90bpm. She felt this was too high and has upped my beta blocker which will make me feel rubbish. I am confused as my resting heart rate is around 65 and my heart rate only goes above 90 if I'm moving around.

Has anyone on here got complete congental heart block, long qt, heart murmur, dual chamber
