Bradycardia
Within I had a
pacemaker
installed. I now feel do much better. I was told that my condition was missed due to my fitness and that a slow heartbeat was not considered a risk. Apparently the sinus node was failing.

Angina symptoms
Two stents, bypass, ablation for AFib,
pacemaker
, but ongoing angina symptoms due to arterial disease that consultants are not wanting to address initially through surgery (another stent/bubble) due to risk of compromising the bypass.

Sinus pause
Hello, my 15 year old has sinus pause and has had a
pacemaker
for the last 4 and half years. He has grown a huge amount in this time and the lead has moved in the heart a bit.

LBBB and mild impaired LV function.
Does this mean I will always at some point need a
pacemaker
? I've not been brought up with healthy food, never really do exercise, used to drink often, this is a wake up call now!

How to go through airport security with a pacemaker/ICD?
They prefer you to show your
pacemaker
card and use the hand-held security wand. However if the wand is held over your peacemaking for too long, the wand could temporary affect your
pacemaker
. Do we have the right to opt for the hand-pat search?

Urinary Retention after Radiation
I thought that I might get used to it, but it does cause quite a bit of pain and discomfort, so I don't think this is a sustainable solution. 2) A permanent catheter. 3) "Sacral Neuromodulation" procedure, which is a device implanted that acts like a '
pacemaker
' for the bladder.

My partner had a
pacemaker
fitted when we were on holiday in Spain but they never gave him a card. We are now going to travel again and may need a card of some kind at the airport, not sure what to do.

Update on "thumping"
Update as promised on the recent "thumping" as my CRT
pacemaker
kicks in. Went to my appointment at the
pacemaker
clinic on Monday and explained that I was getting this quite drastic "thumping" on my left side as the
pacemaker
kicked in. This after 5 years with no problem.

CRT-D device and Ablation? Advice please.
Cardiologist is going to put me on Amiodarone tablets along side the device then after some time will stop the
pacemaker
part to see if the tablets do the same job. Then depending on results will do an ablation to the left lower ventricle to get rid of the part of the heart that isn’t working.

This
pacemaker
even picks up when I am doing something more active such as walking or exercising and it will readjust itself. I am not going to try another ablation I’m tired of wasting time.

A help line that works! Wow what a surprise.
Some of you will know that last September I had a
pacemaker
installed. At the time of my six week checkup the centre told me that I would have a bedside monitor box that would read my PM and relay any problems to the clinic but that they were out of stock.

What makes that even worse is I’d need a mri scan to see what’s going on which would be fine but I have a
pacemaker
so that needs to be taken out first! im in total agony if I move right now I normally take a binder because I have bile acid diarrhoea Merry Christmas 🎄

Normality after Pacemaker fitted.
I had been in hospital for small bowel blockages when they found Bradycardia and after all tests I was fitted with the
pacemaker
. This is where it goes downhill. I started getting very tired and lethargic, short of breath on normal exertion, stairs, uphill etc..
