back again

Hi, my name is Tina and I received my biotronic Jan 7 2013. I was doing really bad for a while but since March I have being doing really well. Thursday night at 2 am woke up with left arm pain and numbs. Went to ER in ambulance who told me my pacer was not working. I am 100% paced since my ablation in Dec 2012. I panicked but when we got to the ER my pacer was pacing at 100% and the biotronik lady came in downloaded my pacer and couldn't find anything wrong. Woke up Sat morning at 3am feeling like I was in junction rhythm. Only lasted a few mins but went back to the ER and biotronic came once again downloaded and saw nothing. However my doctor told her to turn off my night settings because he things my own rhythm is trying to take over when my heart rate goes below 70. So my setting is 85 all the time now. I am having alot of pvcs and pac. I am scared out of my mind. I have literally almost giving up. I have high anxiety and I do not know how much more I can take. This morning I feel beats in my neck. I do not know whether to bother the doctor AGAIN or just wait until I see them tomorrow. I don't know if this is anxity or a true PM problem. Everytime its downloaded they find NOTHING which I guess is a good thing but makes me feel crazy. Sorry just had to vent and if anyone has any suggestions for me I am free to anything at this point. The only meds I take are toprol for my HR. Thanks everyone

ER

I went to the ER was admitted was there for 3 days. They say there is nothing wrong with my pace maker so I guess it's anxiety. I don't know. I just want to give up at this point. Lowest feeling I have ever had to be this scared and afraid to live.

You know you're wired when...

You run like the bionic woman.

Yesterday I moved to a new place in my mind and realized how bad I felt 'before' and the difference my pacemaker has made.
