Hi all,
have had my pacemaker for about 5 weeks now. Had it adjusted two weeks ago, and another check up yesterday. Tech said I was pacing 35% of the time. Is this a lot and will it ever change. Been diagnosed with vasovagal syncope. Also been having high heart rates above 140 at rest. Is this going to be permenant.
?

35% IS not A LOT. Try 100%. THAT's a LOT! Many of us function at or near 100% all the time.

That % will change w/ time - up & down.

140 HR will not be permanent, but is unusual - Have you reported it to your Cardio?

If so make sure they turn on "smoothing" depending on the device there are some other things that need to be done but your guys should know what to do.

You know you're wired when...

Your signature looks like an EKG.
