Questions about my mother’s AF
She already had a
pacemaker
, which had been fitted over 10 years ago for sinoatrial disease. At the time of her AF diagnosis she was put on 5mg Apixiban per day. She was already on 40mg Furosemide for high blood pressure, 30mg Lansoprazole for Acid reflux and 125mcg Levothyroxine for her thyroid.

Elderly mother unable to take lasix and aldactone - Now what?
She has a
pacemaker
for 8 yrs for syncope. She is on metroplol, Eliquis, lyvoxal for thyroid, and she is supposed to be taking 80 mgs of lasix now because she can’t tolorate 25 mgs of aldactone along with 60 mgs of lasix.

Atrial fibrillation after crt-d implant
I had previously had a
pacemaker
for 8.5 years. My EF went down towards end of last year so decision was made to get an upgrade. In the first 1.5 weeks I felt good. Recovering from surgery.

Cardiac devices in airport security - make sure you carry your card!
I flew to London last week and, for the first time in a UK airport, was asked to show my
pacemaker
/defibrillator card at security.

A breakthrough at parkrun
I gauged my pace to a guy ahead and he was running at my easy gear, after a mile I was though the toxic 10 and so up went my pace all by itself, I was now closing on my
pacemaker
and feeling great. Spent that mile overtaking people slowly.

Hello, I have so many irregular heartbeats including AF, SVT and several others, so my cardio guy now says he thinks the best idea for me is a
pacemaker
. Has anyone, on here, had one fitted? I'm seeing the cardio guy on May 1st for more info but he is a man of few words :-( Thank you :-)

Can I use a Kardia?
Having seen a number of references to Kardia I looked at the website and found that they are not recommended for someone with a
Pacemaker
. As my readings with a cuff fluctuate wildly when in AF it would be interesting to get the Kardia results....Does anyone know why its a nono?

SVT
Hi, I suffer from frequent Episodes of SVT & on occasions a resting heart rate as low as 34 bpm, what is the likelihood of being fitted with a
pacemaker
? I'm feeling impatient waiting for results etc.

Swollen glands...why?
Pacemaker
- I'm thinking it may be nerve damage and lowered immune system. Imaging suggest no lymphoma. ENT, neurologist, maxilo facial and facial pain specialists cannot explain. Suggestions?

Young Adult with Cardiac Arrest
I did receive a
pacemaker
on Sept 24th. I had a complete halt to my heart beating for 24 seconds after a 3.5 second pause. It still is scary. I have lost some friendships due to the mental (PTSD) side of getting through what happened.

One year post ablation today!!
I’ve have had one episode of AF lasting 20 seconds (according to my
pacemaker
recordings) in that time. Yes I’ve still had ectopics and bad runs of them at times but the flutters have gone!!! I feel so much better compared to what I was like before.

Hello, and my Dad
Morning everyone I've joined this group as my Dad has some ongoing heart problems, and it's for support and a bit of guidance really :) He's 77 and had a
pacemaker
fitted a couple of years ago - it's been brilliant and I'm eternally grateful for all the clever people who helped make him better.

Another Question about DBS
However, I have a
pacemaker
already and am wondering if that would disqualify me as a candidate. Has anyone ever heard anything about this? I plan to ask my MDS, but I don’t see him again until next January.

EPILEPSY OR HEART
Well I was admitted immediately onto the cardiac ward as an emergency where I was told a
pacemaker
was necessary and would be fitted within two days.

Advice please re af
If I just stay as I am and put up with af will it shorten my life much or should I have the av node ablation and be
pacemaker
dependent. Would that slow me down more or lengthen my life. ??? Any advice or experiences please.

Bewildered
Then came the
Pacemaker
which I really didnt want then came av node ablation which I was really loath to admit I needed but the 15 weeks I waited for that were the longest in my life. I have not really improved much since then.
