Pacemaker key changer
Common Questions and Answers about Pacemaker key changer
pacemaker
Pauses at night are usually not a indication for a pacemaker. The key is if you are having symptoms during the day when you are awake. If in doubt, get a second opinion. If you are fatigued or run down, heart rates that low can sometimes cause subtle symptoms that you don't know you had until after you get the pacemaker. I hope this helps.
Normal is between 60-100. You probably need a pacemaker, I'm 27 and I have one but my rate was going into the 30s, so I would suggest seeing a cardiologist. For your age and having a blackout I wouldnt put it off any longer. Plus, 50 is the lowest you know of it going. You'll need to wear a monitor for days to see what its doing all the time. Chances are it may be going even lower.
m not even getting a changer this time! I had one with my first and never used it! But it was not attached and it was better for the room!
I have been told that I have a conduction problem and may need a pacemaker. I have worn a 24 hr Holter monitor and am now wearing an event monitor. I did not have anything occur while wearing the Holter monitor and nothing has occurred as of yet while wearing the event monitor. My question is if nothing occurs while wearing this monitor is there another test to diagnose this problem?
I'm feeling some depression coming on, my doc told me today that I need a pacemaker. I'm 67, been weight training all my life and now doc says it must be very limited. I didn't limit my training even after both shoulders were replaced, although the max weight i use has decreased.
Ok, I know the cardiologist says its ok, he's done hundreds and the pacemaker rep will be there and they will turn off the pacemaker and then turn it back on later, but I am still soooooo nervous. They are only going to do a 1.5 with contrast.......
Should I relax? I've scanned the internet and so many articles are so old or contradict others
Anyone have this done yet?

Silicone is a widely used biomaterial. Contact allergy, particularly to silicone components of pacemaker coatings, is uncommon.
I assume you are referring to the risks involved with the pacemaker. You should be aware of your surrondings and devices that may interfere with the pulse generation. Because it is pulse generation, interference can cause irreguar heartbeats that could be serious.
Is it good to go get a 4in1 crib with a diaper changer . Ima get it on weds cause it's on sale .. You think a cherry brown color is for a boy or girl ?
The key question is, how are you feeling? From what I understand, it's more likely that low heart rate/pulse is a sign of a problem if you feel dizzy, tired, washed out, etc. when your pulse is low. Many people feel fine with a low pulse.
Heart rates vary a lot from person to person; low heart rate is not uncommon in people who exercise regularly and are athletic (like runners, etc.). Heart rate also changes a lot during a 24-hour period.
Do you take any medications?
Your first appointment is on my due date :) there isn't much you need to do for your first one. They'll give you a pap smear, do an ultrasound and you'll get to see the heartbeat. You'll probably do blood work and get lots of information about being pregnant. Good luck, it's a fun journey!
My girlfriend who is 29 has been having issues with her heart randomly stopping and starting after about 5 or 6 seconds. She has had numerous ecg/ekg's, blood tests, a 24 hour urine test, and an ultrasound of her heart only to find out everything was fine. No defects or blockages. When her heart stops, she gets a "buzzing" sensation in her head and then blacks out.
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.
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.
