Depression and fear

I was having problems with just not feeling well and my heart always felt like it was jumping around.  I had a heart monitor implanted the end of January.  Two weeks ago I was told that I had arrhythmia and that my heart was pausing 3 to 4 seconds several times a day.  So last Thursday the 13th of April I had a pacemaker implanted.  I know it's for the best but I am so down about it and suffering some anxiety thinking that I'm still feeling odd sensations.  Does it take a bit for things to adjust or is it just anxiety.  I also have a lot of gas and belching..is that normal at first.  Thanks .

Im a 60 year old active male, Mountain biking, Physical at work too. had 8-9 sec pauses while sleeping. Had a PM fited 3-3-17. I come to this sight as I too am still thinking about it.

It does get better. Feels better to have a normal heart beating. You and I were running the risk of dying or worse having a stroke and living another 20 years drooling out of one side of our mouth. That picture and conversations like this helps me cope

You know you're wired when...

You have an excuse for being a couch potato.
