MINI-SHOCKS

When I posted earlier, the mini-shocks were intermittent. Now it is feeling weird with every beat. I had a generator replacement 6/9/2014 - so it is still not that old. Still roams around and has not scarred down. Any suggestions. ER visits are a joke. Thanks.

Shocking

I doubt if the ER is equipped to do the differential diagnosis you need. You know the ER philosophy is "Treat 'em and street 'em." They are not going to be inclined to mess with your PM when it IS working--even if you don't think it's working right--and keeping you alive.

It's time to go back to your cardio, to ask questions and keep asking questions until you get some answers. And be sure to ask for copies of your interrogation report. Someone here can help you interpret the numbers so that you can communicate more effectively about what is going on.

If you're not satisfied with the answers you get from the cardio, then get a second opinion.

You know you're wired when...

You have a little piece of high-tech in your chest.

A pacemaker completely solved my problem. In fact, it was implanted just 7 weeks ago and I ran a race today, placed first in my age group.
