AV Node ablation & CRT Pacemaker
My Cardiologist wants to ablate my AV node (the junction box in the heart), knock it out completely so only the heart muscle will work and insert a CRT
pacemaker
which I will be totally reliant on. This scares me!

Afib only in late afternoon
The doctor is now talking about the possibility of a
pacemaker
. Not sure how this would help with a fast heartbeat. Does anyone here have this problem or had this happen to help.

Hiccups and De fib pacemaker
Does anyone with a
pacemaker
suffer from hiccups or does anyone know of any meds that cause this symptom? Also heart burn. My husband hiccups about half an hour after every meal, he mentioned it to Dr, but no advice.

Update on dizziness/fainting & arm pain
She said the remedy will likely be a
pacemaker
. That sounds like something for an old person. My little body is falling apart but not ready to give up. Never liked being idle - not painting large murals anymore - painting what I can do; so I'm painting rocks. Sauna is almost completed.

Private Battery Replacement
I had a
pacemaker
fitted November 2013. For my pilot licence the CAA require at least 6 months battery available. I have maybe 2 years left. The NHS, as far as I can determine, take it right down to the wire. They won't make an appointment until there is 6 months or less left.

Pacemaker review
I believe that we are only legal to drive with a
pacemaker
if we have an annual review. They phoned today to say that they had to cancel the appointment due to the virus - and could they do it in a year's time.

pacemaker
would be really appreciated Thank you x

5-years Today ... and counting! :)
Starting with a 227 PSA and 1 met in my spine, I’ve had radiation to the spine, 6 rounds of chemo, 4 1/2 years of ADT, a prostatectomy, and implanted a
pacemaker
. Worth every bit of it! Amazing what they can do to treat PCa these days. I’m incredibly fortunate.

Loop Recorder & Pacemaker information
Just three weeks ago got
pacemaker
and when I went in for a checkup I asked about a particular time and date as I'd felt miserable with heart jumping and pounding. But the device showed nothing unusual happening at that time? Anyone every experience the same thing?

Do You Have Dark Urine Caused by Anti-coagulants or Blood Thinners?
I was put on Xeralto 20 mg after having 4 cardiac arrests & a
pacemaker
put in, June 2018. I have occasional AFib episodes, but hardly ever feel them. About 4 months ago I started getting dark urine in the evenings and tests showed blood.

Is 92 too old to have pacemaker fitted?
Her doctor phoned last week to say she had been looking at her notes and wants her to have an ECG because she thinks her problem may be sorted out with a
pacemaker
. Does anyone know anyone so old who has successfully tolerated the trauma and discomfort of having one fitted at this advanced age.

My AF story.
On the last occasion I completely collapsed and the result of that was I needed a
pacemaker
which really knocked me for six. It didnt stop the af and I gladly accepted av node ablation which Im pleased to report solved my problem.
