Feeling tired in the afternoons

Hi

I just wanted to ask if it is normal to feel tired in the afternoon. I usually feel great in the morning and begin to get light headed and fatigued by the afternoon which comes and goes (lasting only a couple of mins). Some days are not as bad as others but I feel this most days. I have had the PM interrogated 3 times in two weeks and it all comes back normal. I had my sinus rhythm and O2 levels checked while this was going on for one time and that was normal. I am thinking it is just the recovery time needed. I am wondering if I will ever get back to the way I was before the PM. Some things are better some are worse. In saying this I wake up feeling really good in the morning. I had the PM put in on the 1/8 and just wanted to know when should I expect to get back into normal walking around ( like a walk in the park). I walk around the shops and short distances now without too much trouble. Can anyone offer any advice

Thankyou

Caroline

to feel fully up to speed after surgery. Been what? Two weeks, now. At this point, as long as you feel normal in the AM, at least & are continuing to improve you are doing fine.

You'll probably hear from more than one about getting the settings correct after implant. That can be a nuisance if there is a subtlety in yours that causes the light-headed stuff.

It's still something to bring to the Dr's attention, if only for your mental well being & attitude.

Good luck.

bradycardia??

why did you get the PM??

If it was for bradycardia; from personal experience I can say it will get better over time.

I am 61, workout 2 hrs/day, 5 days/week, got a pm in June for bradycardia. I still get tired a bit but I am nmuch better than I was pre- PM.

Yes

I was told I have sick sinus syndrome only for bradycardia. I am feeling better with each day. Some days are more tiring than others. I do feel better than I did. There are a few sensations and pain that I am not used to so I suppose I will get it sorted out. Your post helps me because it does fit with me too

Thankyou

You know you're wired when...

You play MP3 files on your pacer.
