Hi there everyone:
Hope that everyone here is doing fine. Seems like I had a couple of days that I don't feel as depressed as I was earlier.
Hope that it was from the shock of having my surgery.
Want to ask you another question. I am going to see my cardi. on friday, the 12th of Sept. which is a couple days away. Need some information. I know very little about how my device is set.
All I know is that one setting is at 120/130 whatever that means. Cardi said not to use my excerise bike, because if it goes over 120 my Pm/defrib. would kick in. My heart is only working at 15%.What questions should I ask etc. How do I get more information about the setting & surgery procedure. Do I ask the doctor or the rep/ tech. for the report I feel so dumb asking this, but would appreciate any adviec I can get. Will they release my records, and who to ask.
Thanks for everything, you are so special to me, & appreciate all your support. Best of health to everyone.
Hugz...rayan

Today I explained everything to my doctor, he set my lower rate back to 80 and I felt an immediate improvement.

That's a pretty low threshold for the defib. I have a 50% EF and mine is set at 220 for pacing (ATP) and 240 for shock.
There is a guy on this site with a 15% EF and he still works out, lifts weights, etc without any issues.
Your doc might be placing it low just in case, but I would ask him specifically why it's set so low as you can not really exercise at all.
