Hooray 1st check was great!

Thanks to you guys. My 1st check up for my pm was great. You guys taught me to ask the right questions and for that I’m so grateful. I had such a knowledgeable visit with my NP she answered all the questions I got from you.  Let’s see, I’m paced at 33% and high/low rate is at 60/140 which is great for me because I feel wonderful:) humm what else, oh yeah my battery life is 11.5 yrs. and only one minor afib episode and my dx is SSS- sinus node dysfunction, afib, and a flutter. Keep your comments coming. Oh well I think this is a stupid question. Ok let me start with I bought a chair massager because my neck is sore as I’ve been so tense lately. Can I use the chair massager? I know it’s a crazy question and an impulse buy. but I’m new at this. Well anyways thanks pacer club for getting me through the past few weeks. I look towards many more. And hopefully one day I can be of support to someone, but I need more time to grow. Warmest regards :)

Hi there,

Happy to hear that everything seems to be going good for you.

Can't help you with your massage chair question, sorry, but I do have a question for you.

My first check-up is coming up in a couple of weeks.

Would you mind listing all of the questions that you went armed to your check-up with?

I know I want to know if my EF has improved, and if my PM is set at the optimum settings, and ask why the skin on my chest is so tight, but that is all I have at the moment.

Anyone else that can add to this list of questions is welcome to comment. Perhaps I will collate them all and publish them here for other people to use.

Many Thanks,

Paul





Here are my questions

by Heart to work - 2012-04-17 05:04:47

Hi Paul,

I hope this helps

How many years will my battery last?

How often will be my checks for my pm?

Is my device 100% dependent?

What are my settings (hi/low)?

How many lead wires?

Does my device have any settings I should know about?

What is my diagnosis?

What will I expect during the interrogation? Ie any pain or racing

The interrogation was painless. And I'm very satisfied that I could ask questions that are helpful.

Let me know if you need anymore help. Although I new at this. Seems like I'm just a few wks ahead of you.

You know you're wired when...

Lifetime warranty no longer gives peace of mind.
