I will possibly need a permanent pacemaker.
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.
Wow! I hope I never get shocked.
So glad you are doing better. I am 2 weeks post surgery for lead replacement on the lead that slipped. Doing good, but not as much improvement as I was hoping for. We’ll see how it goes. ❤️❤️
Currently in hospital after the lead in my top chamber came loose , it then sat on a nerve causing visable jolting of my chest and diaphragm and breathlessness , weirdest experience ever. Having another op tomorrow to replace , now it's left me with the added concern of it happening again , I have total heart block so completely dependent on the pacemaker, has anyone else had these issues Margaret
I did not have a lead come out but I had one that was not working properly (the original lead was put in in 2002) I had a new lead put in in 2023.
I have been recently diagnosed with this disorder. I didn't even know I had it until I read the summary notes after appointment. Thoughts welcomed. Thanks
Yes, all he said is my heart is getting worse...but he acted like it wasn't a problem so I felt the same until I looked at his report....this is a very good hospital so that was disappointing.
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?
Thank you, my friend.
