LOVE THY SELF
Now i have a
pacemaker
. Still get those anxiety attacks but on a lower scale. I've learned to cope with anxiety. Lifes ups and downs (more downs than ups for me) have lead me to understand that, thats the way life is.

Found My Cure for RLS and Severe Night Cramps
Had a pre-op blood panel taken before having my
pacemaker
replaced. It showed potassium and magnesium deficiencies.

2nd opinions are worth it!
(So far they have been hitting high 30s again, along with a jolt every so often if it drops too low which is unsettling) If this happens when implant is in then he feels they will have to put in a
pacemaker
to work alongside the rate reducing medication which I need.

Pacemaker one week on
It is now a week since the PM was implanted. Somehow I had the idea that it would be a simple procedure which I would quickly recover from, but that has not been my experience. I have had 5 ablations so I know how it feels after that, but this week has been a complete surprise to me. There is the

Vagal Af and Pacemaker
Is there anyone on the Forum who has had a
pacemaker
fitted (with no AV node ablation) for Vagal AF , if so did it keep you out of AF .. I’m asking this as I saw my cardiologist yesterday and this is what he offered me .. I currently take no meds, thanks

I had a flutter one time before while still in hospital when the
pacemaker
was inserted and I'm due for an interrogation in three weeks.

Pacemaker finally in
Well I finally had the
pacemaker
implanted yesterday. It was not as straightforward as I had anticipated as the cardio could not get the wires into the right place because of scar tissue from my previous ablations.

Pacemaker Recovery
I have had
pacemaker
fitted after collapsing, went to doctor previously with exhaustion and swollen legs and feet, also overweight so he suggested gym. Still feeling exhausted and although back at work not coping very well, will this get better over time.

CBD. TURMERIC.
Pacemaker
. Still in PAF 50% of time. But can manage and resting beat was 72. I also have arthritis and fibromyalgia so thought I would see if canabinoids would help pain. Also Turmeric. The CBD capsules from healthspan which helped pain a little, sparked of a long spell of higher hr.

Not Sure What To Think
I had a
pacemaker
fitted in Dec,. 2016. Everything went OK for 9 months and then A/F returned. I then had an AV Node ablation in June 2018 and (touch wood), everything seems alright. One of the drugs I am on is Bisoprolol 10mg and have been for the last 7 yrs.

Thyroxine/Warfarin interaction ... anyone know a specialist ?
But any increase/decrease of one affects the other and keeps being repeatedly changed 🤦♀️ My friend has a

Breathless
I have a
pacemaker
too. But I get so breathless I cannot go for a walk. I also have Angina. My question is there anything that could alleviate me of my breathlessness so I can enjoy a walk. I have told doctors of this but they dismiss it.

Bradycardia with pause episode/dizziness
Does one Brady 5 sec pause over three weeks necessitate a
pacemaker
? I exercise aggressively 6 times a week for an hour or more. Heart rate reaches 85-95% of max in 10 or 15 mins with virtually no increased effort on my part. I lower the effort level considerably and heart rate drops quickly.
