Heart Failure Question
He has gone back to work today still in atrial flutter, with a
pacemaker
and all these drugs because he is worried he will lose his job but he does 12 hour days. nobody has time to sit and talk to us so he is doing what he always does and ignoring it. I like to plan things though.

Seat belt
Now I am back driving there is no problem as the seat belt does not affect the
pacemaker
shoulder. However, when we go out together my husband and I share the driving. The guidance is to avoid the seat belt over the
pacemaker
for at least 8 weeks and preferably permanently.

Pacemaker repositioning procedure
Since having my
pacemaker
moved slightly just over two weeks ago I keep getting a slight sudden sharp pain by the
pacemaker
, it’s a bit painful and like a very mild shock . It’s that sudden and only lasts just a couple of seconds but does kind of make me take a breath in when it happens .

Pacemaker, more energy?
Recently advised I'll need
pacemaker
(sinus pause). My HR is generally in low 50s. Has anyone found renewed energy with a
pacemaker
?

Pacemaker...throat issues?
Pacemaker
inserted 4 days ago. Since that time, I feel a "tickle" in my throat. At first I thought it was from procedure, but now Im wondering if it is because my heart is beating differently? Anyone experience this sensation in their throat?

They rushed me to the hospital and gave me a
pacemaker
. Once they put in a three lead
pacemaker
I felt great! My heart right now is set to go no lower than 70.

aFib and the jab
Interesting correlation: I just had my 6-month
pacemaker
interrogation appointment. The data shows that I hadn’t had any “events” since 2017, but it started showing several aFib episodes beginning September 28, 2021….the EXACT date of my first and only Pfizer COVID vax.

Pacemaker check
Had my yearly
pacemaker
check this week, and as part of the check the PM was turned down to see if my heart would help at all, she stopped trying at 40bpm, and decided that my heart didn't want to play !

Lainie update
I know the final option is AV node ablation and
pacemaker
but have now been advised that it’s not always successful but it is irreversible so if I get to that stage it will be a tough decision. What other options are there ? Has anyone got a
pacemaker
and AF controlled by other means?

Getting an ablation while having a pacemaker.
Had a
pacemaker
put in because I had bad episode of heart failure probably due to coven or could’ve been actually due to the Tykosyn we don’t know. I was just wondering can you get an ablation with three leads in your heart from a
pacemaker
?

Pacemaker advice
I've been offered a
pacemaker
after having very slow and high heartbeats and a recent holter confirmed heart pauses and PVCS borderline over 10% of daily 100.000 bpm. I know lots of you have pacemakers Can you give me advice on the pros and cons.. Thanks Janet

A Difficult Choice
My cardiologist has said that as my AF doesn’t cause me many problems and I live a reasonably normal day to day life that I should consider the option of remaining in AF as opposed to the other route of cardioversions and ablations plus the likelihood of needing a
pacemaker
(due to my low heart rate)

Occupational health and pacemakers
Since having a
pacemaker
installed 3 weeks ago I have been making enquiries about returning to work. I work in the North Sea and have to pass a medical exam every 2 years.
