Pacemaker update

To all that have helped me I say a big thank you for all your help!!!
If interested pleas reference "Told I need a pacemaker" posting
I have just returned from a specialist in arrhythmias and he reviewed my file and determined that I do not need a pacemaker..although the future may bring differern circumstances but not now. He said due to my heightened vagal tone and active lifestyle I am seeing dropped beats at night. The vagal tone he said is more active at night that is why my holter shows the delays only at night. I show no symptoms and he sees no concern. My cardiologist thought I needed one!!?

TO cathyrn and smitty especially!!! Who suggested I needed to see an EP and/or seek a second opinion I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!! IF it weren't for you stories/responses I would have a pacemaker right now and for no reason.

The moral of the story..seek a specialists opinion,ask a lot of questions, and go with your gut if you dont feel right about a dignoses and/or doctor.

You guys are all amazing people and this site is also.

THANKYOU!!

Martin,
I have been keeping you in my thoughts and am so happy to hear that things turned out the way you wanted them too. I pray that you won't have to get a pm but if you ever do this is the best support place that I have found. Keep us updated!

I am just now 40 but have had these blackouts all my life. I am thrilled with the pacer and would do it all over again.
