Extremely worried about my daughter
The
pacemaker
My daughter has does not work anymore and they feel an operation to replace it would cause more damage to the valves and would be a dangerous operation.

Pacemaker triggering other organs.
My question is has anyone experienced Angina or similar chest pain triggered after their
pacemaker
implant, mine is a dual chamber PM. I've never suffered from Angina before. I have just been discharged from hospital after the onset of severe chest pain & am being treated as it being angina.

Mobitz Type II Heart Block
I was fitted with a
pacemaker
in May 2019. Although I did not have any symptoms such as dizzy spells before having the
pacemaker
, I do feel generally better and less tired now.

Pacemaker
2yr ago, stroke syndrome, 2 months ago. Had got back to weekly swimming. However, last few weeks, legs really ache , swollen, weakness. I have reduced my PRED to 11mg/day in the last few months. Wonder whether the legs are a FLARE with the reduction of PRED.?

One way to quit.
I am now minus stomach, spleen, part of pancreas and had a large stone removed from my liver and also a
pacemaker
fitted. During those months I was far too ill to think of smoking. Today, on my first full day home from hospital, I notice a faint craving, manly when I work on my computer.

Pins and needles in hand/arm
I have a
pacemaker
for trifacicular block but I also have an areterial flutter. I was having pins and needles on diagnosis but gp/cardiologist said it was not related and would go away.

Keto diet for lipedema? NEW MEMBER as of Nov 1, 2019
I'm 75 and have had other medical problems that I have handled well and are well controlled (atrial fib with a
pacemaker
and Watchman device) but lymphedema has thrown me for a loop. Doctors seem to have a 'just live with it' attitude.

Anybody had a CRT pacemaker fitted to correct left bundle branch block?
I am hesitant about having a
pacemaker
at the current time as I do not want to risk what is a good QOL. Any advice welcome.

pacemaker

Questions to ask before my pacemaker gets fitted
I'm having a
pacemaker
as my heart rate has been dropping into the 30s, although typically that's not happened now for a couple of months, so they are planning to set it to not drop below 60bpm via the
pacemaker
. thanks for any advice Liz

When to say "enough is enough"
I also had a
pacemaker
fitted. Unfortunately it did not help with the breathlessness although I have been able to return to work and led a reasonable life with a few adjustments. This year I had my Mitral valve replaced and again have just returned to work.

AAIR pacemaker and Cordarone
My electrophysiologist has advised implanting a single lead
pacemaker
and staying on cordarone. (I'm naturally Bradycardic and even the slightest medicine makes it worse). Has anyone been advised similarly? This is for SNRT and Abnormal automaticity that was found in the last EP study..

Are pacemakers only for a slow heartbeat only was just wondering what happens if you get a fast heartbeat but cannot take medication for it. Do they treat it other ways
