Afib 100% of the time

I too am in afib 100% of the time. I do not pretend to know everything or actually very much about all this. The only thing that happens for me is, I have to have my pacer changed more frequently than usual as the battery works that much more...
You know you're wired when...
You trust technology more than your heart.

I'm 35 and got my pacemaker a little over a year ago. It definitely is not a burden to me. In fact, I have more energy (which my husband enjoys), can do more things with my kids and have weight because of having the energy.

Are you taking medications/beta blockers that are often prescribed for people with arrythmias? If so, sometimes they need to try several different types to find the one that may help you. You may also be a candidate for a heart ablation. That procedure attempts to ablate the tissue that is producing the errant electrical impulses that cause the afib etc. There is a lot of information on line that shows videos and describes that procedure. What does your doctor say about treating your condition?
