Pacemaker
Very recently have experienced swelling of my left hand and arm, following CT scan shows a problem with a stricture, probably caused by the vein where the
pacemaker
wire has been fitted, mid 2021. Anyone else had problems with the
pacemaker
wire please? Dave J

Kardia readings with a pacemaker
Am concerned tho that I shouldn’t be using the kardia(As kardia says they don’t recommend it’s use when you have a
pacemaker
) Are there any opinions on here? Do other people with pacemakers use kardia? thank you

AV node ablation on Friday...getting a touch nervous!!
Question : is the
Pacemaker
switched on before the node is ablated? I currently have it just switching on when my heart beat goes below 40. Anyone who has had this second part of the pace and ablate.. I would love to hear from you.

Toprol XL to be taken 2x daily?
yearly,,,the nurse practioner just switched me to Toprol XL 25 mg 2x daily but the paperwork with the drug says it is to be taken once daily due to its coverage being about 16 hours,,,I see an overlap here where the side effects might really be an issue,,,I already had bradycardia and had to get a
pacemaker

Unpleasant dr at hospital visit
., feeling queasy and reduced appetite , in the early hours of the morning my watch picked up that oxygen levels had dropped to 92 and 90 so I had a gp appointment this morning and she sent me back to the same department for a review and a
pacemaker
check .

Bi Ventricular pacemaker and ICD, please share your experiences
I have been offered a bi ventricular
pacemaker
and ICD as a result of my history of ischemic heart disease, various conduction issues, 30% ejection fraction, slow pulse rate. It is hoped getting both ventricles to beat together will improve pumping function and my general wellbeing.

Brief cardiac history , I have had a
pacemaker
since 2020, I had pericarditis and an effusion due to post procedure complications , thankfully now recovered fully from that after many months .

I thought I would share
He told me just a couple of years ago what they had for a
pacemaker
would not work for me, and I would continue in heart failure, which usually ends up meaning a transplant. If a person is lucky. They are working every day to find new ways to give us quality of life. 😊

advice pacemaker
hi all been away for a while as uncle has been doing very well. This week is 6 months since the surgery and he has surprisingly got through it. I need some advice on pacemakers, how is based on left shoulder, he keeps getting on and off sharp shocks or pain from it. No chest pain no other symptoms.

Angiogram and Right Cath.
On meeting with the Surgeon the discussion came around to my pulmonary hypertension and he said if that was ok, as I have no other health issues I should be able to have open heart, as I’m not keep on the clip, I already have a
pacemaker
and with open heart they can move my leads from going through

DOACs
Cardiologist and EP now agreed I need a two lead
pacemaker
. I have been on warfarin all this time. EP wants me to change now to a DOAC. He says they are safer and all new AF patients are put on them rather than warfarin. I am unsure what to do.

Re-Referred
In the space of not even 12 months, I've gone from needing a
pacemaker
, to not, then to possibly needing one.

Three shocks in last twelve months and not been to hospital, anyone else had a similar experience?
I've had two ablations, both unsuccessful, but on the second one my AV node was accidentally ablated so I became
pacemaker
dependant. My previous hospital, I moved out of the area, were quite good and the protocol was to go in via 999 and ambulance after a shock.
