Whats happened so far

Hi all been a while since I posted my first message asking for help all the messages were a massive help and much appreciated so thanks.

I am bit further down the road now been signed off work now coming in to my third month so getting bored at home not able to drive or use machines so work is not a option. I have had my table tilt test and CT head scan all came back ok which was a relief. Had my Cardiac MRI scan and got most of the results by letter they are saying there are no signs of valve abnormality,heart structure and function look normal and no evidence of coarctation. My 24 hour monitor showed signs of sinus bradycardia my consultant has asked for a second opinion before they fit a pacemaker due to my young age of 25. In the letter to the new consultant it says the gentleman appears to have sino atrail disease can anyone shed any light on what that means?

Looks like I will be having a pacemaker soon just hope its right for me and sorts all my problems and get some normality back to life.

Thanks again to everyone who posted.
Cheers Ben

Average age

Believe it or not, my husband sat right next to the Chief Cardiologist of Medtronics over all of North America and Europe back in January, two weeks after I got my first PM. The guy told my husband that the average age of a new PM recipient is 77. As we age, our parts can wear out. For those of us many years younger than 77, it's usually just bad luck?

Sounds like your heart problems are all electrical; what a blessing! No valve trouble is huge.

I know you'll do well, Ben, and you'll be back to life as usual very soon.

All the best.

At age 20, I will be getting a pacemaker in few weeks along with an SA node ablation. This opportunity may change a five year prognosis into a normal life span! I look forward to being a little old lady with a wicked cane!
