fingers crossed for pacer interrogation

Thursday 6/14, I'm getting my pacer interrogated to investigate rate and other "funky" issues. My pacer is firing during the refractory period, is sometimes lower than my set rate, it's undersensing, I'm having periods of atrial paced tachycardia, and ironically a PR prolongation despite being 99% paced.

I originally complained (and that was when I was at my wit's end) on May 24th. I'm finally getting this seen about and am not too happy about my doc's response or lack of.

I just hope to heck that I don't have something wrong with one of my leads, and this is something that a pacer "tweak" can fix.

Cross your fingers, and if you're a praying person- do that too!
Thanks,
Angelie

Hi Angelie:)

I will cross my fingers and my toes for yah.

I truly hope you can get some answers to your pacemaker issues; and I hope the answer lies in the settings.

Keep us posted.

Take care,
Pookie
