I had mine put in May 31 and I have been having issues with SOB and palpitations. The doctors and nurses keep telling me to hang in there. Honestly...I'm tired of hanging in there. All I want is to get back to where I was before all of this started, because I finally felt I was doing great. But...I have to say after a Med change and several pm setting changes things I am finally beginning to feel better. I'm finding out for some of us this just takes time...of course no one tells us that before they put these things in us. So hang in there...I do think there is a light at the end of the tunnel...I see mine flickering, and hoping soon its a huge fire. Good luck.

yes but 2 months is too much im tired of feeling this way some days I can not even go to my car because of sob and im on oxygen. I see my cardiologist on wed and she has a lot of explaining to do they want to do all these test so why did they not do them while im in the hospital. im not a happy camper right now. this tunnel sure does not have any flicker of light. I was great before the inplant and it seems since the implant things have all gone down hill its depressing and im frustrated

I wish it was easier

I'm sorry your so frustrated. It's not easy...that I know for sure. It seems like for every good day I get 3 bad days. It has just been an up hill roller coaster for me. I was at a point I couldn't walk up a single flight of stairs in my home. It sounds like you have other problems if your on oxygen at home so you may have more things besides the PM to deal with. I know I want to feel like I did back in May before all this started and it has been a daily struggle for me to get to where I am now. You are right it is frustrating and depressing...I hope you begin to feel better soon and get some answers to your questions.

One other thing...I would ask your cardio for answers, because you desreve to know what her plan is. But, I don't know where you are from but I do know that most doctors in the US can't just admit or keep their patients in the hospital for "outpatient testing". Insurances require a person to meet a certain criteria for admission, they don't care what the patient wants of how the patient feels. Its very unfortunate for the patient.

Good luck.
