I have a pacemaker and it is keeping me alive. I am paced at 100% which means if I did not have this device, I would not be here. A "danger", if any, might be the fact that you need to have the devise interrogated every 6 mo. There is a battery life and when it runs down, the device is replaced. I still have 3 yrs on my battery and have not experienced the battery change. I rank this invention right up there with antibiotics.
So I'm almost 29 weeks along, last night I attempted to carry my 2 year old into bed and tripped over a few very large toys that I guess I was blind to. Well I made sure my 2 year old didn't hit the ground but I landed on a bike. I only felt pain in the back of my upper thigh, but today I'm having lathe amounts of discomfort in my ribs and I'm not sure if they ate Braxton hicks or actual contractions. I have 2 kids and never actually felt a contraction.
I recently met with a cardiologist who review the ECG and 24 hour heart monitor results which show the need for a pacemaker, even though I have not external symptoms. The problem was caught during an ECG done for life insurance purposes. At the moment some cardiologists might say that I don't need the pacemaker yet, but to avoid the chance of the thing getting worse and resulting in a stroke or worse I will be getting a pacemaker.
As long as its not off by a lot there should be no concern. They are mostly tracking that the baby is growing a at a regular pace, the actual cm's will vary.
Hello,
I thought I would try to post here also since I posted and paid on the doctors form and still have not recieved a post back. I know these doctors are very busy and they do this out of the kindness of their heart but it's sometimes hard to sit and wait when you are anxious.
I am a 35 year old female with a history of mild aortic vlave disease, mitral valve insufficiency, papiations and I am currently being treated for hypokalemia (3.1). I do also suffer anxiety.
One of the common complications that we see in these patients is sinus node dysfunction, or abnormal function of the natural pacemaker of the heart. This is due to the large amount of surgery and scar tissue near the sinus node, which can certainly occur with an intracardiac version of the Fontan. Therefore, it is not uncommon to see heart rates this low in patients after a Fontan.
At this point, the most important fact is that she is asymptomatic.
The pacemaker itself should not be a deterent from having an ablation. I've had a pacemaker for 6 years (because of an ablation actually), and then had another ablation about a year ago. Unfortunately, the ablations don't work for me, but I have IST, not SVT so hopefully they're more effective for that.
My pacemaker battery had been dead for over a year and a half, and I just now was told that the pacemaker will have to be removed because it can damage the heart if it doesn't have a battery. Is this true? Incidentally, my pacemaker had not been activated for several years, as it was set for the minimum and didn't ever have to kick in.
I have had numerous surgeries including the Fontan in 1987 with a revision of the Fontan in 2006, where at that time I also had a Medtronic Enrhythym Pacemaker install. 3 weeks ago I had a Pacemaker replacement due to the fact my battery on my Pacemaker was running low. The new Pacemaker installed is a Medtronic Adapta. Since the new pacemaker my Heart beat has been all over the place. My 1st Enrhythym was paced at 80 bpm, and it pretty much stayed like that for 5.
t record but heart stopping more the 3 seconds is serious and that she may need a pacemaker this is all so very scary she is so little has anyone gone through anything like this with there child?
i had 3 open heart surgery and on my 2nd. pacemaker.. my first pacemaker last me for 18yrs. and just got my 2nd. pacemaker Dec.2006.. my pacemaker was implanted in my upper chest on the right side.. only thing i hate the surgery doctor told me he would use the same cut as the other pacemaker but when i woke up he cut me in another spot.. well i can say.. ask your doctor his he using the same cut as the first pacemaker was in..
Do you have a pacemaker? The best is to check with your doctor or pacemaker technician. I don't know what can it cause the heart functioning abnormality if you have the inverted T waves? Anyone knows?
It also depends if you're a pacemaker dependent or not. I'm not a pacemaker depend. I go well with the equipment which marks "Pacemaker user caution". If I found my heart beats abnormally, then I stop using it and try again after the heart settle.
Hi,
I'm sorry about your mom. Its my understanding that they don't "stop" the pacemaker, Nature takes it course regardless of the pacemaker. I went through this with my mom.
My normal pulse rate with out pacemaker is 54 ppm. My dual lead pacemaker is set at 70 ppm, some people with pacemakers have the pacemaker rate set below their normal heart Resting rate Ex. normal rate 50 ppm
Pacemaker set at 45 ppm. What determines the optimun pulse rate for the pacemaker?
My Doctor is willing to set it at any rrrrrrrrrrate I choose.
I am 86 years old in good physical shape,play tennis do nautilis and swim several times a week.
I don't believe a pacemaker is used to control AFib. Perhaps your father has other heart problems. The most common use for a pacemaker is to keep the heart from beating too slow, or stopping. Some times a PM is used when the heart electrical system has to be totally shut down, in which case there would be no AFib or other arrhythmia, but this is not done to my knowledge, to control AFib.
Pacemaker batteries will not run out unexpectedly. When a battery is running low, the elective replacement indicator (ERI) is activated. Physicians can detect this activation during a routine office visit. In addition, the battery status and the general functioning of the pacemaker can be tested over the telephone. This is generally done every one to two months.
