Thanks for the comments :) Doctor diagnosed atrial fibrillation causing the episodes increase. No heart degradation.
No symptoms. Can walk 2 miles.
feeling good now.

I am 100% pacemaker dependant and have been all my life. I try not to think about how a little metal box keeps me alive - it would drive me crazy. So I lead a very active life.
