Can you spare 10 minutes of your time?
An ICD is like having your own defibrillator inside your body so if your heart should go into a specific arrhythmia the ICD will shock it back into rhythm; whereas a
pacemaker
monitors and adjusts the rhythm and speed of your heart; if it is too fast or too slow it will adjust accordingly.

amiodarone
Now, “fully loaded” with Amiodarone, my heart rate wants to drop even further but maintained at a steady 60bpm by my twin lead
pacemaker
, implanted in 2014. My problem is constant shortage of breath, slightest exertion creases me! Comments please.

wires?

Pacemaker waiting time
Hello I was put on waiting list for a
pacemaker
today but told it will be over a year before I can get one, I'm dreading feeling so tired and ill as I have for the last few months for another year or more I'm getting very down and depressed.

Is it a choice? Pacemaker v Implanted defibrillator?
It's not common.Two consultants have expressed a view, the duty one saying
pacemaker
fitting the likely position by the end of the week. My consultant who had my LINQ loop ECG recorder fitted saying implanted defibrillator.

Hard lump after Pacemaker insertion.
I had a
Pacemaker
inserted in June but I have recently noticed a hard lump under the skin develop, immediately above the
Pacemaker
incision area. It doesn’t look red or inflamed but feels tender, tight and uncomfortable . Anyone else had this after a
Pacemaker
insertion?

Pacemaker question
Does anyone know what a dual chamber
pacemaker
does besides preventing the heart beating too slowly? I was told mine reduced the duration of the QRS complex. I would be very grateful for information, or a source where I could get information.

~AV Node ablation update~
There are other readings too that are not normal, but GP believes the
pacemaker
( Feb 2024) was enough for body to cope with and this AV Node ablation has been too much too soon - I juggle a few other health issues alongside which added to the mix.

Why it’s a good idea to use your Kardia etc regularly
Dr Google tells me that the gold standard treatment is a
pacemaker
like CDreamer’s but I very much doubt that will be offered. So, don’t be obsessive but regular checks are good…..

Disappointment after Ablation Number 4
Is a
pacemaker
the inevitable next step? I’d be so grateful for any words of wisdom from fellow sufferers.

CPAP Warning regarding ICDs and stents
All well apart from news I need a new face mask as current one has magnets which can affect medical implants such as
pacemaker
or even metallic stents. Phillips have recalled and Resmed have issued warning letter.

A “success story” , finally.
And in July 2023 I have a
pacemaker
insertion then in November had the AV Node ablation. It was needed a few weeks/months to deal with the heart's rate adjustment. And today I am happily feeling better than for long time. While the AF is still active it could not affect my heart function.

New Pacemaker (Mk3) Incoming
Now that my current
Pacemaker
has reached a grand old 10years of age, I've been referred for new batteries/box. Should be straightforward enough, as the wiring seems to be fine, so a quick splice into the shoulder and old replaced with new.
