I want to thank everyone for your advice and encouragement this week with my many questions, Today I went back to the Cardiovascular care clinc talked to my heart dr. also so the rep from meditonic during the check of the device I was throwing pvc’s again also threw BT’s too (Brady-Tachy syndrome), My Heart Dr. told me my heart is under alot of stress because of the low blood oxygen problems, now I am waiting to get refer to a lung speicalist, The good news out of all of this he told me my heart is actually trying to heal itself, and that parts of my heart has become strong again, but too he wants me to have stress test done, in two weeks, because I have had pinching feeling around my heart, it has been over 10 years since my last stress test, only thing I can’t do the thread mill because of my pins in my right knee. Again just want to let you all know.

They can perform a stress test without you walking on a treadmill if need be.

Just for reference, I have an ICD (aka CRT-D) my interrogation report recorded 94,000 PAC's about 6 months ago. Similar to PVC's except in the atria. 3 months later they were much less. Don't know about these past 3 months yet.

Rare? Depends who you ask. Many have Brady-Tachy on this site, controlled by PM/ ICD and meds. The PM controls the Brady and the meds control the Tachy. Take a look at Don's info on the other thread.....a lot of good info there.

Ask for a copy of your interrogation report when they check your device. A lot of good information there too. If you don't understand it, post it here and we can help you decipher it.

Good luck with the lung specialist. Let us know how it all goes. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Carolann: There's another thread about Brady-Tachy just above this one - its about a 22 year old w/ brady/Tachy.

Lots of good discussion for you.

Any questions, come back & ask - be glad to help out.

Is this rare and where can I get more information on this, or is there someone here that could share with me? Thanks, I was told it is very rare to have this problem or condition, is it?

You know you're wired when...

Bad hair days can be blamed on your device shorting out.

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.
