hi sunnywishes
yup. i think thats what happend. do you know if crt-d will control extra beats? i think this is the first time since surgery that i feel extra beats. hope this doesnt mean it isnt working.

If you are racing after caffeine, that's all you, not the pacing. The pm can't do anything if the heart goes fast on its own other than make sure the ventricles stay in sync with the atria. It can't slow it down unless it goes fast enough for the icd to fire.

Hi Patty
I am addicted to my coffee. I drink about 4 to 5 cups in the morning and at least one in the afternoon or evening. I have been all my life and I have never noticed my heart rate going up. Since surgery they still have me pacing at 80 but intend to turn me down next week to 70. I have checked my heart rate now and then and it has been staying between 80 and 84 pretty consistently. I am hoping to start getting more exercise this week.
Good Luck

today doc gave me results to 2 week heart monitor. I have repeated SVT's but not serious. He told me stress and caffeine are two things that can cause this- not the pm.
I hate the idea of giving up my measly 2 cups of coffee a day. Still contemplating.

Caffeine means instant racing for me. Some of us are very sensitive to it.
