I am still thinking about it.  Would be nice to be able to get off of  blood thinner.  I have not had any problems with the PM.  Recently had an ab an av node ablation.  No problem.  Sorry things have not gone so well for you.

Mine was implanted in Nov. Eliquis with baby ASA until Jan, then Plavix with baby ASA until June. Then I get to take just baby ASA. So there is a period of time where you are on blood thinners, approx 6 mos provided your body absorbs the device and all goes well. I went home on the same day as implant and it is done via caatheter. I was under full anesthia during the entire procedure which was fine by me. Good luck if you decide to go with it.

You get your device tuned-up for hot dates.

Since I got my pacemaker, I don't pass out anymore! That's a blessing in itself.
