so yesterday i went to my town's yearly celebration and went on a ride. there was no harness over the pacer, just a seatbelt and a metal bar at the waist. it's the one where you go fast in circles, but side to side. sometimes it's called the scrambler or something like that. after that ride, all last night my heart was going crazy with irregularities (slow beats to dropped beats, then the pacer would kick in in the way i could tell that it my heart was trying to regulate, but it just wasn't working well .i got the pacer for type 2 and 3 heartblocks.) then this morining and all day i felt/ feel sick and really tired.
i had my pacer placed in april 2009, and my dr. said i can do everything pretty much normal. i thought as long as the harness wasn't on the pacer, it'd be fine.
can this happen after a ride? was it too soon, or are my days of rides over?
i'm not really thrilled that this happened. i couldn't make it to one of my best friend's baby shower today. when i have kids, who is going to go on all the rides with them at disneyworld or wherever? i'm just a bit down after this episode. sorry, and thanks for listening. any advice would be super helpful!
thanks!
