Oligometastatic PCa - There’s Hope!!
(Also had a
pacemaker
installed a few months ago - the radiation apparently caused some issues with my heart rate not going above 108 bpm. Highly recommend Cleveland Clinic for heart issues.) That brings me to today. Just left my doctor’s office and I am officially starting my ADT holiday today!

Pacemaker implant imminent..
A
pacemaker

Bisoprolol
I had a CRT
pacemaker
fitted 6 weeks ago. One week after the procedure I was started on a low dose of Bisoprolol. Over the next 4 weeks this dose as increased 4 times up to my present dose. I noticed that on the lower dose I started to feel lightheaded and at times a little dizzy.

Pacemaker for AF
I’m 87 years of age, with AF and a fast heart rate not adequately controlled by Bisoprolol 5mg twice a day. After a catheter ablation which was successful for a few months I’ve been offered a pace and ablate procedure at LHCH Liverpool. Will I have better energy, no light headedness. Or breathlessness

Pacemaker, finally, in 3 weeks
They have finally decided on implanting a
pacemaker
in early Jan. I'm terrified and relieved in the same breath. Any experience with the surgery? Any tips on making it easier? Thank you in advance!

New Pacemaker Tomorrow
Hi, I’m having a new
pacemaker
tomorrow and can’t take my own advice about looking ahead instead of dwelling on the procedure! Why is it so hard to do the sensible things like not stressing about it?

Pacemaker for atrial fibrillation
My AF causes me to have fast heart rates which are not controlled by maximum dose of Bisoprolol 10 mg a day. Being 87 years of age and after one catheter ablation which only gave me 4-5 months of sinus rhythm it’s been decided to do a pace and ablate procedure next week. My worry is whether my symptoms

Possible AV node ablation due to conflict between my pacemaker and my own cardiac electric circuit. Pacemaker for complete heart block.
If I have the ablation then I will be 100% dependant on the
pacemaker
. Is there by chance anyone who has had or having this difficult decision to make.

AV Node Ablation- anyone’s experiences please
Pacemaker
fitted earlier this year- a three lead one which has stopped the sinus pauses I was having long pauses and bradycardia. My consultant has been talking to me for years about having an AV node ablation but I am really scared of this knowing my heart beats on a
pacemaker
only.

Kardia with Pacemaker
However, the Cardiologist said the Kardia does not pick up all the rhythms/waves or whatever when there is a
pacemaker
and that I was still in Permanent AF. Can anyone explain this to me, please?

Eliquis and Pacemaker procedure
I am having a
pacemaker
installed and am fearful of going off Eliquis. I know I will bleed less Nd this is good, however I have been having frequent afib and have a strong family history of stroke, having lost two siblings in last two years.

Are you able to get on the kidney transplant list if you have a pacemaker?
Does anyone know if you are not qualified for a kidney transplant if you have a
pacemaker
for sick sinus syndrome?

Pacemaker interrogation
I had my first PM interrogation yesterday. They changed my lower rate from 60bpm up to 65bpm to help with the shortness of breath. Very annoyed at how little info they were willing to share !! I had to keep pumping them with questions most annoying that they didn't involve ME in their interrogation

Not sure if I had a heart attack
I have a
pacemaker
for bradycardia and on cartia to keep the heart from beating too fast. Was that mid November episode a heart attack? What should I expect when I see the electrophysiologist?

Beta blockers
I thought my
pacemaker
controlled my heart rate between my parameters set by the technicians, since found out the
pacemaker
only controls the lower setting
