New tech and doc

Moved from Dallas to Baytown, Tx and went for my first pacemaker check with a new Tech. Reading rather disturbed me. AP counts greater than 99%, VP counts 14%, AV conduction counts 86%. Battery life 5-7 years. Tech said all was fine, but pushed me about getting quarterly phone checks, instead of the now once per year in the office checks. Anyway new cardologist had not seen me as of yet, and I only had a brief conversation in the hallway with him.

Roughly one year ago AMS epidsodes were 2, this time it was 17. should I be worried about this stuff, I feel fine and walk 2-3 miles each day and stay active. Battery life one year ago was 8-10 years.

At age 20, I will be getting a pacemaker in few weeks along with an SA node ablation. This opportunity may change a five year prognosis into a normal life span! I look forward to being a little old lady with a wicked cane!
