Update on Red Baron from his wife
Long way to go to say he is fully out of the woods as he currently has an external
pacemaker
to give his own heart rhythm a break. That will be switched off at some point and then he will know how things have really gone.

ABLATION: Costs and Paths to having Ablation carried out. NHS or PRIVATE.
Atrial fibrillation develops when electrical impulses in the heart are fired chaotically by tissue in the organ’s upper chambers, the right and left atrium, overriding the heart’s natural
pacemaker
. Symptoms include dizziness, shortness of breath and tiredness.

Bradycardia, sleep apnea and now AFib
The test results showed my heart was strong with no blockage or issues at all but suggested a
pacemaker
will eventually be needed.

Need advice re pacemaker.
A
pacemaker
has been mentioned & from what I read it seems to be a low risk, highly beneficial intervention. I need to hear what others think, pros and cons. If it's so great why dont they do it sooner? I'm 73. Thanks for any in help you can offer!

Post pacemaker implant pain
I had my 3 wire
pacemaker
installed in January 2019 after being admitted as an emergency with total heart block in the New Year. The procedure was ok but I am still feeling discomfort after 4 months and can’t sleep on my left side and still getting twinges of pain when I move my left arm.

Atrial fibrillation after crt-d implant
I had previously had a
pacemaker
for 8.5 years. My EF went down towards end of last year so decision was made to get an upgrade. In the first 1.5 weeks I felt good. Recovering from surgery.

A breakthrough at parkrun
I gauged my pace to a guy ahead and he was running at my easy gear, after a mile I was though the toxic 10 and so up went my pace all by itself, I was now closing on my
pacemaker
and feeling great. Spent that mile overtaking people slowly.

Hello, I have so many irregular heartbeats including AF, SVT and several others, so my cardio guy now says he thinks the best idea for me is a
pacemaker
. Has anyone, on here, had one fitted? I'm seeing the cardio guy on May 1st for more info but he is a man of few words :-( Thank you :-)
