Check up reports and liife

Had a great check up with EP today, usual checks, discussions and reports.
Aside from afib and PVC s and other stuff, the interrogation shows that on average my heart forgets to beat twice a day, however, looking at the drop response report, it mainly goes on strike on Saturday and Sunday mornings and were it has fallen on a weekday, I am either on leave or working from home. The pm of course kicks in and does what it's there for, but it is an interesting pattern.

Is this because I go to bed earlier and wake up later? These are the days when I get more rest and don't get up between 0530 and 0600.

I wonder has anyone else looked at their reports and if so, what sort of patterns are you seeing.

Thanks.

Pacing

Hi Niecey

I have bradycardia anyway 30-40bpm, but also have neuro cardiac vasavagal syncope and SSS which can be an interesting combination.

So we were looking specifically at the drop response as opposed to the slow bit. I e when it suddenly pauses

The pacer is set to keep the timing right but also to do kick in with 100 bpm with drop response. Therefore it was this printout I was reviewing.

Cheers

So Interesting

That is so interesting AP Girl!

Every year in the US when we adjust our clocks for Daylight Savings Time and lose an hour of sleep, there are reports in the news of more heart attacks the day after the switch.

Before I got my PM 6 months ago, I always suffered the day after the time change! While I wasn't having a heart attack, I was definitely having irregular rhythms.

All that to say: I think you're smart to wonder about a connection between the weekends and when you typically wake up.

Since your heart "forgets to beat twice a day," does that mean you're only pacing occasionally?
