1/Year in!

At the end of July I had 1 year in with the Pacer. So I thought I'd share my thoughts. I had to get the Pacer after a 3rd degree block resulting in a low heartbeat. The past year has been an on and off head trip. I did have 2 situations. Both shortness of breath-the most awful thing to happen. The 1st episode happened after flu shot-5 days in the hospital, the doc said it was CHF. Congestive Heart Failure. I said it was the flu shot.

The 2nd was shotness of breath which I sat out-outside in the cool air and it went away! Some one said to chew some aspirins? Anyone hear of this?

I'm watching salt intake very closely and do everything as before the PM. The main thing in the past year has been carelessness and head trips. Other than that everything fine!

Hi Gman!

I had 3rd degree heart block as well. I either take a junior asprin every couple of days or have a glass of wine or whisky. I've got my rate response on. For the first year I was getting afib and shortness of breath, but once I started to have an odd tipple and got rate response on, felt fine.

I do watch my salt intake and sugar and make sure I do at least half an hour of exercise a day.

Glad to hear you are feeling well
