I have this weird question that I am almost afraid to ask, as it seems so silly. I do believe this is not in my head. Ok, here goes. Has anyone experienced anything like this...At precisiously 7:30pm my chest on the left side, the PM area behind the breast, goes nuts. I get this increased pressure, and I feel like my heart races, it is almost a crushing feeling and takes my breath away for that second. It lasts less than a minute, but you could set a clock to this feeling. Any thoughts????

Hopefully, Smitty or Electric Frank can answer this. AV node ablation, heart block, single lead to ventrical and my last pacemaker check showed three episodes of high ventricle rates 212 to 226, so I am scheduled for echocardiogram today and the Persantine Gated Myoview scan next week. The nuclear scan is leaving me a little nervous because it seems as tho what is left working in my heart has already been stressed enough. I have had the test before my pm. Have you had it after pm.? Would really...

Hi folks
I saw the surgoen yesterday and he wants to operate on my foot. I am really nervous about the anaesthetic with a pacemaker. I am waiting for an appt to see the anaesthetist who will assess me. I have a dual lead pacemaker which was given to me because I had sick sinus syndrom with third degree av block. Before my pm. each time I had surgery I would feel as if my whole system went down a notch and it was harder to recover due to extreme tirednes. Any comment would be a h...

HI:
I've never joined an on-line support group, before. I received a
pacemaker a week ago. Though, I didn't want it, suprisingly
I can now breath. I live alone, so I've afraid of doing something
"wrong". I don't have a real good medical back up right now.
What are peoples experiences about eating, too? I've also
diabetic. Do people find any foods beneficial & helpful in the
care of their pacemaker?
I live behind Mass. Gerneral. Is there...

Just thought I would like to post this again as I think it would help quite a few folks who might not have seen it before:
I do quite a bit of studying on the chemical workings and nutritional needs of the heart and body and just thought this info might be helpful to some. This is taken from a book titled "Reverse Heart Desease Now" written by a "new cardiologist" named Dr. Stephen T. Sinatra:
"Every cardiologist should be interested in the following benefits of fish oil:

Hello, I am a new entrant to the club having implanted a V V I R pacemaker just 10 days back. I welcome the advice of older & experienced members.
Out of curiosity, I would like to know which side of the chest is best suited for my kind of device. My doctor insisted it on my right side & implanted there. Though it has little significance for me now, I am just curious to know.

Hello everyone! I haven't posted in quite sometime. I was wondering if anyone has an Electrophysiology Study since receiving their pacers? I have had 5 EP studies but they were all before my pacer. They said that they can do the study through the pacer. I have been having frequent PVC's and short runs of v-tach per my pacer and been passing out. 2 1/2 weeks ago I passed out while driving. They said they will still sedate me and put an IV in. My question is, is it still as painful as the going th...

I finally met with another cardiologist. He said that he feels that if the medicine is not helping my only option to feel better at this point is a PM. I am scheduled for surgery next week and now my nerves are running on high octane. I am excited to feel better finally and have my energy back and I am also optimistic the surgery will go smoothly but still nervous

i am a police officer and just had a PM placed 3 weeks ago. I now have low blood pressure that makes me light headed and dizzy sometimes and my vision sometimes gets a little blurry. My doctor said they can only blunt my symptoms but they will never really go away. I am unsure if I will be able to return to work. I am just windering if any other police officers have a PM and how it affects their job?
