My story

Thank you for answering my question about my pacemaker going off on every beat of my heart.
I havent been to Dr yet to ask my questions. My heart problem is it is out of rythm so they shocked it once and it worked for a week . I went in hospital to try new drug betapace.The third day Dr said lets try a shock and maybe it will work????? Well I did not come right back 6 sec out ended up in ICU heart rate 37!!!!
Sooooooooo now I have pacemaker. I was tired and out of breath and I am still soooooooooo I dont understand??? I have plenty of questions. Thanks for listening Helen

I felt really bad and out of breath for the first few months, just hang on in there, take each day steady, and hopefully you will start to feel better soon. Good luck!

My eight year old son had a pacemaker since he was 6 months old. He does very well, plays soccer, baseball, and rides his bike. I am so glad he is not ashamed of his pacemaker. He will proudly show his "battery" to anyone.
