Progress

I learned a lot here , but have not posted in a while. I taked about changing Drs. I did! It proved to be a good decision. My UCLA Dr. Spent a lot of time with me and alleviated much anxiety.
After the first appointment he set up a treadmill test with an EKG and tweaking of the Pacemaker. No miracles occurred. The PM was working as it should and I had little difficulty with the treadmill.. Only breathlessness, but that was the intent. I had the tech guy from "Boston" as well as the EKG technician who promptly did a scan immediately after the T mill!. A nurse took my BP during the tests.
I have been back gardening , even moving small trees! Yes I get tired still, but hey , I did before too. I am a senior! I get dizzy at times, but it is over in seconds. All in all nice progress!
Hopefully the dizzyness will pass...will it? Thanks for the good info from you folks!

Thanks greatful heart and all of you.
I managed to lose 25 pounds, intentionally. It helps with overall feelings.
It is good I don't drink, cause I pigged out on biscoti and boy did I pay the price. lesson learned!

I sill get dizzy at seemingly at unrelated times. It happened making coffee yesterday. I sat down for a minute, and it passed. it did not happen again that day.
What brings it on? Will it pass?

You know you're wired when...
