Hi,
I'm worried sick again. It's been 6 week since my device implant and my doc did an echo. He said that the heart muscle response was on the low end (a 53, not pulse) and could be because of the new electrical connection not working as well as a natural electrical impulse. He said low was 55, whatever that means. Again, not a pulse thing. Should I be worried about the heart muscle? Do they do reposition surgeries to get a better lead position? I have to go in for a treadmill test next week and there is concern about my borderline blood pressure as well. I'm losing sleep again... advice? Thanks so much to this great community.
