recently diagnose permanent AF
He said the solution to my permanent AF might be to have a
pacemaker
fitted. Has anyone else been prescribed this treatment for AF?

CRT pacemaker
Am I likely to need the medication after the
pacemaker
is fitted? Would appreciate advice from anyone who has a CRT one. Feeling pretty low as unable to do much exercise due to hip pain - would love to go for a long walk!

Perfusion Scan
A Perfusion Scan - based on how my EF comes out will decide if (a) my
Pacemaker
batteries are replaced as planned in the next few months or (b) referred to Newcastle Freeman for a CRT-D device to be fitted.

Bicuspic Aortic Valve Experience
I signed a form before surgery which stated that there would be minimal risks of various complications one of which was to have a
pacemaker
fitted, as it was only 1% I took no notice. During the operation the surgeon damaged my AV node causing a complete heart block..

Uk hot weather and chest pains
I’m also getting pain around my
pacemaker
after I’ve reached to lift or move something and it’s only since the hot weather started . Just wondered if anyone can relate to the hot weather causing pain to start up.

Pacemaker travel question
I had a
pacemaker
implanted last November, and everything seems to be going fine. It has eliminated low H/R issues/pauses and helped minimize Afib episodes. However, I am set for my first international trip, leaving tomorrow for a week in Amsterdam.

what do I do
We had a little boy 21/06/22 who has neonatal lupus and congenital heart block, he had a
pacemaker
fitted 24/04/23 so things have been hard. My partners flares are getting worse each time, we did a kidney home test and it came back positive.

Post Pace and Ablate
But had the most awful night last night fast heart beat about 90 I couldn’t get much of a pulse …I thought the new
pacemaker
would kick in …but it didn’t …I know that it works if the heart beat gets too slow….

thanks for advice as always
after posting here a few days ago, they checked my uncles echo and
pacemaker
. They don’t think it’s moved, they’ve said could be his new valves bedding in and can take nearly a year for everything to heal properly.

Weekly episodes, trigger ideas?
I have a
pacemaker
and take metoprolol for Tachy-Brady and now flecainide for aFib. I used to take flecainide (75 daily)to control my it…until it didn’t. So, in 2006, I had an ablation, which worked beautifully and eventually allowed me to go off my flecainide completely.

ya Gotta Shop Around
This resulted in me needing a
pacemaker
implant. I turn 70 this summer, and I'm pleased to report not only am I in normal rhythm, but the
pacemaker
has me ticking along in the 50's HR just fine....but quite the journey to get to here!

pacemaker replacement
She is now in cardiology ward but doctors dismissing
pacemaker
checks as feb pacing check looked good. Anyone else have experience of
pacemaker
coming to end of life and causing adverse symptoms?

pacemaker is over a week old
been over a week since
pacemaker
was fitted First few days uncomfortable I didn’t take paracetamol as my logic was if it hurts I’ll be less inclined to lift my arm above my head Day four pain eased off dramatically Still struggled with sleep position and found myself in knowingly with my left arm

Heart Issues post Ivor Lewis
Now 5 years post surgery and the afib is worse but I also have Braychardia ( very low heart rate) Looks like I will need a cardiac ablation and perhaps a
pacemaker
. Just wondering if anyone has had similar happen.

pacemaker and air pods
Does anyone have any experience with Apple Air Pods and their
pacemaker
. I’m going to have valve replacement surgery and my daughter thought they would be good for me.

Hello
I am a 54yo Brit living in Spain I have a
pacemaker
and at the check up last month was told I also have an irregular heart beat and blood lots. The
pacemaker
was done in 2011, in the UK, due to heart block and replaced in 2019 here in Spain.
