Pacemakers. I am in continual I’m AFib and getting pacemaker Nov 7. Please tell me your thoughts. ❤️❤️
Has been a God-send for me. The Afib was continuous and always felt it. Could not walk short distances without being short of breath. Recently went to Universal Studios and walked both parks. Was over… read more
Pacemakers. I am in continual I’m AFib and getting pacemaker Nov 7. Please tell me your thoughts. ❤️❤️
Yes, I love my Pacemaker and Defibrillator! I had the devices installed on April 13th! They give me Peace of mind!!! Lifting You Up in Prayer!🤗🤗🤗
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.
Who has had a pacemaker put in. Did it help?
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 am scheduled to have a pacemaker "installed" this month. I don't know what to expect and would like some insight from you. I have had 2 cardio conversions and an ablation within the past year and still have afib several times a week. Any insight is appreciated.
God bless
Can anyone tell me about pacemaker insertion. The process, hospital time, pain involved, etc. any info will be appreciated. It is the next step if I have another AFib episode. Thank you. ❤️❤️
had my pacer inserted 2019 for bradycardia ( very slow heart rate of 30 b/m) it was for me a painful experience especially after the fact as the pacer kept stinging like a short circuit, not a defib… read more
I have a pacemaker about 4 1/2 years due to afib and was diagnosed with COPD with pulmonary Hypertention. I've had asthma since I was 5 years old I am now 76 years old. I also had breast cancer 20 years ago. I also was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis about 8 yrs ago. Now between not breathing and heart failure I am exhausted and just miserable 24hrs a day. I want to turn the pacemaker. Any one else feel so defeated?
I too have COPD along with AFib, heart failure, diabetes and Parkinson. I have to take so many drugs that I don't get hungry. I also have passmaker/ defibrillator. I have had that sucker go off in the… read more
I'm pretty sure I asked something similar before, but does anyone have experience with one of the longer lasting mechanical heart valves? It's been brought up to my cardiologists many times and I have had very thorough work ups and things seem fine, but I still describe my heartbeat now as having the Jumanji drum beat on me constantly. At times it just feels so strong that it feels like it is kicking me in the Chest. I just need to know if that is something that others have experienced with the… read more
Oh yes I felt it kick in you just very heightened I am so sorry I hadn't seen your message! Forgive me please! I need to come here more. Yeah I had a few pacemakers I threw them away. I should have… read more
My cardiologist would like me to get an ICD implant but I have been too scared and indecisive. Now it appears I am a candidate for a CRTD implant which in addition to the defibrilator will improve my heart function and I'll feel better. I'm planning to give him the go ahead Monday. I was wondering if anyone here who has had this surgery can tell me what your recovery was like and if you regret getting one? Thank you.
Hi...this is what saved my sister's life plus meds...it really is a good thing.
