Periodic Flushing and Accelerated Heart

Hi There:

I have a dual chanber ICD had an ablation back in May and every month or so I expereince flushing and my herat will go from a reasting bpm of 60 to 85 and then within 2-3 minutes the flushing goes away first anf the heart slows don in 2 stages: Stage 1 around 75, Stage 3 around 65 and then a retrun to 60. ANYONE ELSE HAVE A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE?

hi dave,

i know exactly what you are talking about.

read my post i just posted on update-pacemaker syndrome. i didn't mention this but i also had flushing whenever my ventricle would pace a few in a row in addition to my heart trying to pace. this was driving me nuts! my new EP eliminated that too by changing the ventricle pacing settings. your pacer settings may just need a little tweeking.
