How soon can I excercise

My new pacemaker was implanted about 3 weks ago. This is my second one implanted to upgrade to a biventricular ICD. Is it safe after 3 weeks to start walking the treadmill I was told could start swing a golf club after 4 weeks and start playing hockey again after about 12 weeks.

Anxous to start getting back into shape a little. Any advice?

Generally whenever you get a new lead, you need to watch your activity level for 4-6 weeks. You should be able to do non-impact exercise now but I'd ask just to make sure, and start slowly.

.................Tracey is just right.....steady for about 4 weeks...when you will get a bit forgetful and do arm movements that get your Loved Ones saying ,," Watch your arm"

THEY ..will be your Gatekeepers for ages...

Since I got my pacemaker, I don't pass out anymore! That's a blessing in itself.
