Hi all. Chippy here, I think I am glad to say that my current pm is going to be replaced by a bells and whistles upgrade; i currently have the skoda model! lol. My proceedure is booked for the 9th of march. After knocking my ep for lack of communication we had a great chat about pm syndrome... she drew pictures which helped!!. The way she described pacemaker syndrome: The signal to beat comes from the sinus node at the top of the heart, i think that signal then travels down to the bottom chambers of the heart causing a contraction...but with the single lead pm's the sensing is limited and it will give a shock at the wrong time....when valves are shut instead of open...basically confusing it...the whooshing/ strong heart beats, dizzieness and breathlessness are apparently all symtomatic of the syndrome.
I would like to say that as others have pointed out, I am truly honoured to have my pm, as without it I would not be here. I have recently been feeling a little ticked off with my ticker box.
But honestly, even though i am feeling the full ticket at the minute i have alot to be gratefull for.
Thanks to all of you. Over the last two years i am not sure i would of coped if it hadn't of been for this site. xxxxx Wishing every one well.xxxxx Chippy22

 

 

Glad to hear that they are going to finally sort you out. Hope it goes well, just don't let them trade your Skoda for a Toyota! lol

Take care HH x

 

Hi there & welcome!
I'm new to this board also.
I think it's normal to be tired after 4 days. Are you taking any new meds? That's what kept me tired, until I adjusted to them.
I'm much older than you, but some days I seem very tired. LOL Might be bacause I have a 6 year old & a 4 year old with me most days. LOL
Hope you're doing well & on the mend!
