Long Term Bisoprolol and effects
Just wondering the other day what my resting heart rate was before I started taking the Bisoprolol and if you ever stop taking the drug is there any long term effects in terms of modifying your natural
pacemaker
. I started on 5mg in 2012 and kept on that for 6 years at least.

Af Ablation
I am currently 20% paced with a dual
pacemaker
. Due to have an AF Ablation soon. I have come across someone saying that after the procedure we will be 100% paced however I can't seem to find any literature on this anywhere. Would appreciate if anyone can explain this. Thankyou

Pacemaker followed by an angiogram?
I now have a
pacemaker
. The angiogram has been left in place, but can be cancelled if I am Ok. What counts as Ok? I have no angina symptoms, but seem to get out of breath very easily at the moment. Any information would be really appreciated.

95% Paced
If you are 95% paced, does it mean you would die without the
pacemaker
. And does the battery run down faster.

dbs and massage chairs
THis might sound trival but I cannot find a good full massage chair which is
pacemaker
/DBS friendly. They all exclude people with these devices. Same goes for vibration plates. I get it, they both emit electromagnetic fields. So does my microwave and phone.

dilated left ventricle informed over the phone (heart failure) 1 week ago
aprox a month ago I was sent for a echocardiogram to check my heart (routine every 5years ) as my father has a
pacemaker
since the age of 50 and 5years ago had an aortic aneurysm. 5 years ago I had the same scan which was all clear.

Extreme fatigue 2 years after valve replacement
And a
pacemaker
fitted. I have been well since but in the last month I have started to get breathless (not too bad) and extreme fatigue. After 12hrs sleep I struggle out if bed and by lunchtime I am so exhausted. I am worried my valve is failing again, any ideas?

Being off eliquis for surgery
how is being off Eliquis for 3 days handled for
pacemaker
battery change. Is another drug used to prevent stroke possibility? How challenging is it to have the PM battery changed? I have AF & Arterial Flutter. I am mildly symptomatic. I'm on Eliquis 5 mg twice a day.

Pace Maker lead caused Valve complications post TAVI
My mother recently had a TAVI procedure which resulted in her requiring an emergency permanent
pacemaker
fitted. Since being discharged (a day after her Op) her breathlessness has limited her ability to even make it to the toilet.

Morning I have a
pacemaker
and wondered how going through airport security works. Are they any steps I need to complete beforehand? Can I go through normal body scanners or am I exempt? Do I need a Drs note for exemption? Any advice on travelling via Eurostar and/or flying welcomed.

Any experience of a Florida Cardiologist
After telling my son I have been advised to have a
pacemaker
he began searching on the Web for information and came up with the name of a cardiologist Dr Pradip Jamnadas who advocates intermittent fasting to cure atrial fibrillation. Has anyone here heard of this method?

Do you have persistent or long-standing AF?
You may also be taking medications, have previously experienced an intervention such as a catheter ablation, cardioversion or a
pacemaker
.

information to share
I am sharing because I got a
pacemaker
just a month ago. Obviously those of us with one should be aware. They warned to keep the phone away from us, but I am curious how much more damage could happen with this is part of the case
