A New Kid on the Block

Hello, I am so happy to have found this stie.I was jsut fitted with a PM just this last Saturday Aug. 27th.I am 34 years old and had Bradycardia. I had been working out when I felt like I was going to passout. I went to e.r. and then was admitted. My heart reat would not cllimb any haigher than the low 40s. So the doctors decided a PM was the best path for me. Well besides being sore. I do have more energy and feel many less palpatations. I can take my pulse and it is much better then it was. So now looking forward i am glad to have this site to turn to for information and support.
Thanks

So sorry you had to get a pm so young but glad to hear you are feeling better. I got my first one at 27. I'm on my 4th now and feel great, most people are shocked to learn I have it because it doesn't slow me down at all. If you have any questions about healing or living with it, please don't be shy.
