pacemaker

Did anyone still get light headed after getting their pacemaker? I have had mine 4 days now.

Had no meds for pain after first night. I did vacuum some today and walked around the house yesterday AM. Then I seem to be light headed a little later. Afternoons no problem. Sleeping not great, staying on right side and don't sleep well on back for long. Have hopes though.

Same thing

I had mine on the 02/03/15, I am still getting intermittent light headed. I walked 3 miles yesterday, and today. Not sure why it's happening, I had heart work up and my only problem was bradycardia, hopefully it will resolve! Going to check in tomorrow with EP guys.

Not sure, but that does make me feel better. I had every test too so I keep hoping it will work. Hope we both get an answer on Monday. :)

Good to know

I did call the doctor's office this AM, no return call yet. They probably think I am paranoid. I was to the store for veggies with my husband. Got a little tired, but not terrible. I guess I expect to much to soon. Have huge hopes!

Yes

Had mine on 1/26/15 and still some dizziness but in general am feeling much better than pre-implant. Had major dysynchrony and bradycardia. Find if I over do it, then I get really tired. Let the vacuuming go and allow your body to heal. I plan on walking for about an hour today--since I am an outside person. Have heard that it may take up to 6 months for the body to readjust. Hope things improve for you.
