Just got mine installed 10-days ago,  so far so good,  but still kind of Creepy having WIRES in my Heart but I guess the alternative wasn't great! This past winter would go to the Supermarket just walk from the car into the store and simply mosey around the store doing the grocery shopping pushing that grocery buggy. slowly just moseying! By the time I got done got up to the Check-out counter,  was SWEATING like a Stuffed Pig, SWEAT POURING OUT of the top of my head and forehead,  shirt HALF Soaked through,  felt embarassed,  thought here middle of Winter ONLY 20-degrees outside,  thought what is the Cashier going to think,  this guy SWEATING like a Stuffed Rino! I knew something wasn't right,  middle of Winter ONLY 20-degrees and simply SLOWLY MOSEYING along,  NO way that I should be POURING OUT SWEAT like this???

I usually found I would pass out after stress or activity when I slowed down i felt very tired and then would wake up on the floor, this went on for about 8 months. It was the cardiac loop that discovered my heart was pausing so I am grateful I guess.  However I just didn't expect to get a pacemaker.

My incision is healing well what about yours? I am wondering when to go back to work I still feel abit weak and my left arm is abit sore.  The first few days I did get some palpitations when I rolled on my right side but that disappeared sfter a few days.

I felt WEAK and TIRED ALL the time, even after 9-10-hours sleep,  would get up and be DOG TIRED after only 4-5-hours of mostly ONLY playing on this Dumb Computer,  would end up going back to bed for a for a 2-3-hour nap by early afternoon! Sometimes would get MILD chest pains in Sternum and just LEFT of Sternum PLUS had that sensation of SHORTNESS of BREATH but still have that somewhat but only HALF as BAD. My one cardilogist said even though I quit smoking cigarettes 3-years ago,  he said after 40-years of 1 and a half to 2 packs per day could be early onset of that COPD? My Scar is healing nicely,  go back Tuesday for first FULL CHECK UP just have had this Medtronic Percepta-CRT for 10-days so far so GOOD! My wound is ITCHING pretty GOOD now,  thus tells me it is healing pretty GOOD,  figure they'll be pulling out those Sutures Tuesday! Sam just look at it the way I do and simply THANK The Good Lord when you get up each morning for granting us another day I guess???

Thanks

I guess, and yes I have been sleeping way too much and get tired easily, So far have not noticed much difference in that but I suppose time will tell. I am not sure when my date is for my first appointment check up I think it is in about x3 weeks. I have so many question now about my condition.

Keep well
