Headaches and nausea

Thanks for the input. It gave me food for thought. When I got my first pacemaker they were going to give me a phone machine with a magnet in it, to take home but when they approached me with it my heart went crazy, I got sick, a terrible headache etc. I really thought I was dying. Turned out I had a one lead pacemaker and I needed a two lead one. Redid the surgery but the leads were not in the right place so they redid it a third time. I guess you are right. It makes me very anxious, but I guess I did not realize its effect on me. I thought I was over it but guess not. Thanks again. I will try the deep breaths and try and calm down next time.

I had a pacemaker when I was 11. I never once thought I wasn't a 'normal kid' nor was I ever treated differently because of it. I could do everything all my friends were doing; I just happened to have a battery attached to my heart to help it work.
