Permanent pacemaker
Pacemaker
fitted in February 2019, taking atorvastatin and doing daily exercise to reduce cholesterol. What else can be done to unblock the blood vessels?

When do you get your Bisoprolol side effects?
FYI, but hopefully not to bore you: In Aug (due to unsustained VT) I was fitted with a combined
Pacemaker
/ICD and started taking 3.75mg of Bisoprolol, which was later increased to 5mg following my first pacing check. On 3.75mg I got the low energy symptoms every other day for about 90mins.

bradycardia
I have symptoms of bradycardia (low heart rate) and may have to have a REVEAL or
pacemaker
implant. I am afraid, and would like some reassurance about this procedure as it's under an a local A with sedation.

SIGNIFICANT METS PROGRESSION DESPITE LOW PSA, LOW ALP, LOW CALCIUM WITH LUPRON/ZYTIGA TREATMENT
(Due to
pacemaker
, he can’t get an MRI) From just a 4-5 mets last year, he now has many mets up and down his spine, in ribs, shoulders, pelvic bones. As you can see from signature below, he resumed Lupron last year, and started Zytiga six months ago in February, 2019. His PSA dropped steadily.

Pandora's box - update
But apparently the
pacemaker
got a little confused and followed the pattern of the AF instead of bypassing it. Silly
pacemaker
!! The technicians spent some time testing and tweaking the device, customising it for me. Fingers crossed then!

Overnight fluid retention
I was wondering whether it may be because I have a
pacemaker
and I take 5mg Bisoprolol at night that my heart is slowing down too much when I am asleep to a degree that the fluid is pooling.

How do I know if I slip back into AF
I think I am doing fine but how would I know if I had slipped into AF again since I am
pacemaker
dependent. If I ask my GP surgery they look kind of vague and change the subject.

Heart failure can my beta blockers be the cause?
My question is I only had the
pacemaker
put in 8 weeks ago and been taking beta blockers Bisoprolol for 4 weeks and it seems all these extreme conditions have come on since I have got sinus node disease, super ventricular tachycardia, bracyacardia A flutter and AF, heart block and 3 ASD’s holes in

No help with pain
Why aren’t instructions on any pulsating implements prepared to tell prospective buyers that they are not suitable for any one with a
pacemaker
or any device connecting to the heart problems.

Nightly vibrations following Afib treatment with Flecainid and Burnout Syndrome diagnosis

Experience with elderly loved one and pacemaker
(She has the
pacemaker
due to bradycardia and syncope). Her heart would go as low as 35 beats a minute before the
pacemaker
and she was passing out.

The gory bits. Warning extremely long post
In fact they want me to stay in over the weekend and have a
pacemaker
next week. Mood descends to darkness and I phone Sam who is just approaching Reading on M4. Go home I'm not coming out.

Health Impaired Travel Insurance for Sailing
A few years ago I had a
pacemaker
fitted, and although that led to some problems getting travel insurance for a while, for the last few years I've been with a company which has been willing to underwrite a suitable annual travel policy at a reasonable cost.

Pandora's box
The
pacemaker
was interrogated and it showed an episode of Ventricular Tachycardia. Never had that before, but it was far worse than any AF I have experienced.
