depends on your diagnosis

Some people are cured with a pm, some feel the same but they are safer. It all depends on why you need it.

If you have a low hr, a pm will probably give you more energy.

If your hr is dangerously low, a pm will save your life and make you feel better.

If your heart pauses, a pm will keep you alive but you may feel the same.

Very simply, the benefits depend on why your a getting a pacemaker. The doctor needs to tell you that and at the same time tell you wha benefit to expect. Benefits can range from having a pacemaker as a backup in the event your heart rate drops to an a dangerously low level to being a life saver. So again, ask your doctor. After you get his/her answer pass it on to the Pacemaker Club members and I'll bet you will get comments, good and bad.
