hi, finally the doctor said i should go for a pacemaker dual chamber as my heart is missing beats and slow. can those who already went for this type of operation share their experience with me please. and can you tell me if it does cost a lot, is there any complication after operation? is there any thing i should know? will my life be back to normal? as now i can't even work!!!

t coming from the natural pacemaker which is located in the high atrium. It is normal to have this as long as you are not limited in terms of your physical activity such as climbing stairs, running or playing with your colleagues. If that's the case I would not worry about this at all. On the other hand, if you do notice some limitations, a visit to a cardiologist may not be a bad idea. He would do history and a physical exam and evaluate your heart function with an echocardiogram.

What limitations wood be connected to hyroid and mental Retardation??? and have Depression?

t start working, they might have to consider sending me to an ep to see if a pacemaker might be necessary to stop the cycle of high then sudden low. Anyone have anything else like this go on? I'm 23 and the thought of possibly needing a pacemaker is terrifying...I don't know what to think or turn to...thanks for any input.

Its taken me a long time to get where i am now,,there are lots of complications with my case,,my 7th pacemaker was an epicario pacemaker,(put into my stomach)tho this jumps above the ribs quite often..which gives a nasty shock to me..I was told by the surgeon that they alll where infected BEFORE implantation of the said pacemakers ,this has made my chest like a basket weave case..cut,,pain,,nerves no longer joining,nerve msgs having to go the long way round or not at all.

Jo -- I met a young woman at Preventive Cardiology Fitness clinic who had a permanent pacemaker because when she had her ablation her AV Node was damaged/destroyed? Anyway, she seemed perfectly able to exercise strenuously and was quite fit. I am not sure what her original problem was but she certainly was not slowed down in the least. Hope this is useful. I really don't have any pacemaker experience, except what I've read on this board.

d end up with an ablation or pacemaker, or may get an ablation and still have to have a pacemaker. I go in 3 weeks to get the specialist's opinion. Has anyone out there had the same and what was done for you - has it worked - how long did it take you to get back to work after the procedure(s) - and lastly, how do you feel now?

All from heart disease or stroke. My father is 75 and has had bypass surgey and now has a pacemaker. I take 7 different medications for my problem. I have been diagnosed with Atherosclerosis . The surgeon who performed my bypass said I would be back. 16 years seems like a long time and I'm concerned that I may have problems again. Just wanted to know if anybody has gone longer than 16 years after bypass surgery and if they have had any complications since.

I honestly don't know. The people to ask would be his transplant team. They know the limitations - who qualifies and who doesn't. I would think a pacemaker would make him even more stable for such a major surgery. I hope he gets the liver soon.

We have researched and talked to Dr. and are hopeful for a long life with minor limitations but of course she has the common fear of the opposite with the depression of diagnosis of any chronic illness. Any help is appreciated.

Hi...wondering what you can suggest for those of use with limitations as to what we can do physically....I have Chiari malformation and had surgery, still have balance issues and use a cane, also have tethered cord, so I have lower back pain and leg issues...and I also have Ehlers-Danlos hypermobility type so certain exercises are not good to do. Most of us are aware we need to move, but find it very difficult. Any suggestions?

What limitations with work should be avoided related to prostate problems? This discussion is related to <a href="/posts/Undiagnosed-Symptoms/Why-am-I-leaking-what-appears-to-be-urine-out-of-my-anus/show/1191809">Why am I leaking what appears to be urine out of my anus?</a>.

I also have a pacemaker. This is my number 4. I prefer a pacemaker rather than icd. I heard many people said, when icd fired, you get blank for a while. Imagine what would happen while you're driving?

good you ask me.. my pacemaker is set to 80beats and I'm 100% depend on my pacemaker.. i have a Medtronic this my 2nd. pacemaker... my first Medtronic pacemaker i had it for 18 yrs. until the doctor turn it down than it didn't work good.. had to get a new one.. in Dec. it will be 2yrs. i had my pacemaker check last week and i find out the doctor that put my pacemaker in didn't set my pacemaker for life depend.. Good news is now my pacemaker is set for it not to be ever turn off..

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.
