In reply to the discussion: Writing to you all from rehab -- you've saved my sanity before I finally remembered my password [View all]multigraincracker
(32,754 posts)37. Got my pacemaker 3 years ago.
Doc that put it in is a great technician but the rest of it, not so much. Had me on way to high dose of Bp meds. Saw a different Cardiologist and went over all of my test and gave me drug stress test and everything showed zero A-fib and cut my meds way down. Now everything is great.
Mine is set at 60 bpm and runs about 80% of the time.
Told me to keep jogging. That was great news.
My new wife took my pulse one morning because I was tired. She told we are going to the ER. Heart rate was 26 bpm. I was planning on just going back bed. Figured she saved my life, so I had to ask her to marry me. She said yes.
Hang in there and take your BP and pulse a few times a day.
