I am 70 years old, have had 3 ablation since 2011, multiple cardio aversion to get heart in a normal rhythm. How will a pacemaker correct my issue?

I had a pacemaker put in about 8 years ago. Then about 5 years ago, I had that pacemaker removed and a defibrillator pacemaker put in its’ place. Am I the only one who didn’t feel any differently when each of my pacemakers were installed? I don’t faint anymore. That is about the only difference. As far as being aware of a pacemaker, I feel nothing. Maybe that is a good thing. Maybe I feel so well, maybe I don’t feel anything.

I received a regular 2-lead pacemaker a year ago. My heart has gotten weaker and now I need a biventricular pacemaker. I'm waiting on a call to let me know the surgery date. Somewhere I heard that a used pacemaker can't be donated for use in another human but can be used for an animal. If my 1 year old pacemaker can help a dog, I would love that. Has anyone on MyHeartDisease Team ever done that or heard about a case? How do I go about making arrangements to donate this pacemaker?

Age 79 in overall moderate health just recently diagnosed with stage one heart failure. Have been prescribed Entrestro and Jardiance meds. The Jardinace seems to cause gastro issues.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I will possibly need a permanent pacemaker.
