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.

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.

GOING FORWARD
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.

sciatica and no urge to move bowel
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 🎄

permanent atrial fibrillation for two years so what now ?
I had thought a
pacemaker
might work but this has been dismissed as not suitable. I‘m on 1.25 Bisoprolol daily and Apixaban (a blood thinner ) twice daily. I’m a 76 yr old grandmother and have a fairly active life but am concerned now that I’m not able to exercise properly .

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..

Need some advice please folks.
Family members are telling me to contact my gp or cardiology team to highlight it and get things moving but I've had all the test done, been diagnosed with the mentioned symptoms been fitted with an ilr which is being monitored and awaiting results to see if I need a
pacemaker
so I've not been forgotten

Diltiazem alternatives for my mother?
I believe she is too old to cope with a
pacemaker
/ablation although her cardiologist persists in offering it. I don't think she would come out of the anaesthetic very well - she is already suffering from some brain haemorrages. ANYHOW... that's not my question...

pacemaker?
and said I’d probably need a
pacemaker
. Anxiety is through the roof now and scared I’m going to have a cardiac arrest in the night. I had a heart attack 5 years ago but given the all clear from that. Any reassuring words welcome!

Travel Insurance
Hi, I have recently had a
pacemaker
fitted and need to renew travel insurance. Can anyone recommend good insurance companies for multi trip cover?

How can I manage persistent AF
I am in UK and have had paroxysmal AF for a few years and was prescribed Flecainide and Bisoprolol but also had a
Pacemaker
fitted in July 2020 because of a low resting heart rate (normally 50 but loop recorder showed some drop to mid 30s overnight).

AF and IBS
Waiting to see if a
pacemaker
will help and new meds. I've suffered with IBS for over 10 years, recently had endoscopic tests because of weight loss..... all clear. I'm posting to ask if any of you with AF and IBS have been offered amatripoline.

Pacemakers
I'm a hand-cycling Paraplegic, about to have a
Pacemaker
fitted followed by an AV Node Ablation and interested to hear from any other paraplegic about how they handled the minimum movement of left arm / left pectoral during the 4 to 6 week settling in period for the leads, prior to the ablation

pace and ablate and the rationale of doing it
I hate even more so final another troubling factor is my Dad died at 68 of a heart attack New Year’s Day I’m 68 in January My
pacemaker
is due to be implanted 21st December I think it’s best to delay this procedure Until I’m in the right head space

The monster has struck!
All my monitors were removed in the morning including the temporary
pacemaker
and ECG. I went for a couple of walks on the ward which went quite well. I checked my pulse rate manually afterwards and all was steady at about 70bpm.

Pernicious Anemia and Endicrine
This past summer it was discovered that I needed a
pacemaker
and one was implanted. I feel I have benefited from those treatments, but I still generally feel crappy. Recently I went into Google Scholar, a research-database search engine, and entered the search terms "B12 endocrine".

A Huge Thanks!
I’m on a “temporary
pacemaker
”-it showed “underlying sinus rhythm “ when they looked at it this morning (what the heart would be doing if the
pacemaker
were not supporting it). It will take 24hrs for the anaesthetic to wear off.

short p wave
just had call from
pacemaker
clinic. Had my eight week check last night. All good to go for Ablate but was looking at shorter p wave this week than last week. What does that mean?

How frequent
According to my latest
pacemaker
check I am now in AF for 20% of the time and the effect is taking more of a toll on me both mentally and physically . I was offered an ablation several years ago but turned it down for several reasons . Is now the time to reconsider my choice
