Hi People;

Been a while since I`ve been back to you all and have had pacer in for about three months or so now.
Am trying to get my head around some issues with the rythum or rate control thing, Have had a couple more adjustment done since last on and was starting to feel ok and have another appointment to see The Cardioligist in a couple of months and am to see pacemaker clinic for check up next week.
I guess what bothers me is I am still getting a bit of flutter some days and also a bit of lightheaded ness on the odd occassion;
Also cant understand with my pacer as told it would regulate and fix the slow and irregular heartbeats but still sometimes when not feeling right completely I notice when I take my pulse it is slow and does skip a beat or two which concerns me cause as said thought that is pacers job to fix.
Unfortunately I still get fast A/F sometimes which I put up with I suppose which I guess is up for debate, but am sick of being a guinea pig with meds like Isoptin, flecainide etc, etc because they all have made me feel like crap what with halucinations, nightmares, insomnia and nausea just to name some I would rather go without quite frankly and I guess am walking a bit of a tightrope guys in that regard but dont know which way to go anymore.
Have been back to my training like swimming etc and mild gym work, sometimes I`m ok after and sometimes have a bit of fast A/F for a little while until I come down.
Blood pressure, do any of you guys out there have issues that way too? ever since operation my BP has been all over the shop, sometimes high sometimes low, one day it`ll be 98/75 next it will be 140/87, freaks me out cause never had blood pressure issues ever, was always around 120/60-65 pretty constantly so hard to understand and deal with.... do any of you have any answers or ideas, would appreciate any feed back, thank you for your time everyone, much appreciated.
Take care, John B.
