Thanks Tracey and Lubro

Many thanks.This is a wonderful site.It is like having your own private consultant.LOL.

The faint feeling is what has alarmed me.However,what you suggest ie that the PM itself may need some adjustment makes sense.It is programmed to have a base BPM of 60.More than that I have no furthur knowledge of the complexities of PMs.So,maybe I have too much voltage?? OK.That is a relief.

So pleased you two have responded.Sometimes we feel totally alone with our bionic selves LOL

I wish the internet had been around when I got my first one! I've been fortunate to have awesome drs and reps willing to explain things to me but it would have been nice to have others like me to chat with. The first time I ever met anyone close to my age paced was through here, 15 yrs after I got my first one.

It is very VERY common to need the settings tweaked. When in doubt, call and ask to be seen. Don't be shy about it, they're used to it.

I have only been a member here for a short while, but I can identify with your feelings... it's great to know that places like this exist... that feeling of being alone and wondering "why me"... you will find many well informed and compassionate people here...I have tried other sites, but this place is by far the best... Lots of doom & gloom out there, but most people here are positive, upbeat, informative, funny... we're all here in this PM universe, and we all have at least that in common (we are all bionic :) ...I'm happy that I discovered this site... people here have helped me tremendously in my recovery...
Hope you get checked out soon for that fainting thing...and I hope it is something simple, like a pm setting... whatever you find out, let us know how things work out for you...
stay in touch...
