Pericarditis
I had a
pacemaker
put in and one of the leads caused leakage. The fluid had to be drained from around my heart and the
pacemaker
lead corrected. However, now I am experiencing fatique, shortness of breath, feet goes numb. The doctor put me on colchicine but did not tell me I have Pericarditis.

How is angina diagnosed ?
I get chest pain every day when I’m walking up to the school , I’m waiting to see my respiratory consultant regarding test results from a few different breathing tests and still waiting to have an exercise stress test because I have a
pacemaker
and have ongoing chest pain and breathlessness on exertion

Worried
A month ago I had a three lead
pacemaker
fitted. I can’t help worrying about everything and feel really scared. The letter they sent from the hospital outlining the procedure didn’t help. I know they have to tell you everything but I am absolutely terrified.

Sick of feeling ill
Since 2021 when first starting beta blockers after having a
pacemaker
fitted I've had nothing but trouble. The GP's don't have an answer for me with various differing ' diagnosis '.

pacemaker registration card nhs
it seems the bhf and nhs state that a patient should be given a
pacemaker
registration card upon leaving an nhs hospital. But this did not happen. I asked for it before I left and was told one will be sent in the post. Has anyone in the UK had trouble getting this card? Thanks in advance

Starting Over - AGAIN
A&E visit resulted in a 6 day stay and a
Pacemaker
fitted! Apparently a resting pulse of 45 (it had been that for 40 odd years) isn't as good as some might think.

Continuation of stroke risk after ablation.
When I last saw my EP who did an angiogram and fitted a
pacemaker
in September he told me I was in AF when he was working on me briefly despite the fact that I have pulsatile tinnitus and can clearly hear a steady rhythm around 80 bpm.

Edoxaban versus Rivaroxaban
I am slightly reluctant with any changes to my medication as I suffered very badly from all the different AF medications resulting in a very successful
pacemaker
and AV node ablation. I now only take Rivaroxaban for my AF .

thank you
He is finally home after 3 weeks, he ended up having a
pacemaker
also due to low heart rate after surgery. He’s had little falls, he had dizzy spells before but got bad after surgery, with small blackouts. One point thinking he had a stroke.

Getting out
I have a
pacemaker
set to keep my heart going at least 60bpm so there's no risk my heart will go too slow, but I'll watch out for other side effects. Anyway my main concern is how much less I want to socialise these days. I've always tended to be introvert, I recharge my batteries by being alone.

Tricuspid Regurgitation
Long story but went in to have a
pacemaker
and AV ablation. At that time I was told my tricuspid valve was moderately leaking and they would keep an eye on it.

Pericarditis following pacemaker implant
Thank you to all who gave positive responses to concerns about needing a pm. The op took place on 7th September a day earlier than expected, under local, completely painless and home the same day. The following day saw us in A&E with severe chest pain & shortness of breath, was told to sit on a chair

Atrial Flutter and AFib
Hello, Briefly I've had multiple Aortic/Mitral valve surgeries, with the second in 2013 I acquired Complete Heart Block, Permanent AF, Shunt, and my
Pacemaker
. I'm probably lucky that I've been reasonably stable over the years, other than every now and again having the PM settings altered.

Colonoscopy and endoscopy.
I was extra worried because a few ago I had a CRT-P fitted, which is a
pacemaker
with three leads instead of the normal 2. But they knew all about it and everything went well. I must say the staff were all wonderful.
