Complications and long term problems after having pacemaker fitted
I have quite a long story which started last November when I had a
pacemaker
fitted for heart pauses , tachycardia and bradycardia . A few days later I needed the leads replaced as one had moved , I was rushed to hospital with the worse pain on left side of chest and left arm.

Had Ablation on Wednesday
The doctor says either way it probably won’t be a problem unless it causes breathlessness in which case I may need a
pacemaker
. I feel alright at the moment so not worrying about that just yet.

New Pacemaker....pacing issues
Just had my first appointment with the
pacemaker
technician. She tells me that the top of my heart (she mentioned atrium I think) is pacing at 100%, whereas the bottom of my heart is pacing at 55%. Does anyone know what this means? She adjusted it down from base rate 60 to 55.

Afib or PACS
My afib/flutter has been well controlled in recent months with Tikosyn and propranolol and my year old
pacemaker
but the past few evenings following dinner I have had episodes of very brief tachycardia. I wear an apple watch so have quickly checked and can see jump to 120 and last night 150.

Painful, cold knees and legs...
I've a history of Afib, sick sinus syndrome and had a
pacemaker
in May 2020. I could only get a telephone consultation with my GP but he's thinking intermittent claudication and has referred me to a vascular surgeon for testing. Any one with similar experiences/opinions....

Magnesium Citrate relieves irregular heart beats.
I was told it was not serious but a
pacemaker
was fitted as a precaution even though beats per minute are 75 to 85. No sign of atrial fibrillation. It's now a year since the missed heartbeats were first noticed.

Can I take Cocodamol with pred?
Part of that problem is that I have a
pacemaker
and need a radiologist there to make any adjustment needed. I see my rheumy for the second time on the 27th.

Pericarditis and pericardial effusion
Mine happened after I’d had a
pacemaker
fitted and a lead put a hole in the heart. I’ve had such a traumatic experience over the last three weeks.

Advice please
I received an email from my cardiologist who thinks maybe I should have a
pacemaker
. Obviously I can’t be in Afib so am on the waiting list for another toe cardioversion first. My question to members is what are the pros and cons of a
pacemaker
and those who have it was it a good idea.
