Decided to join the club

Hi

i have made a decision to have a CRTP implanted today! I have congenital heart disease, left bundle branch block and intermittent AV second degree block. I had an ablation for atrial tachycardia last week and during the EP study they tested the confuction. I have been told I will 200% need a pacemaker in the future, what is undecided is when I might need it, 2 weeks, 2 months or 2 years. I have made the decision that in view of the fact that I will have to have one at some point I might as well go ahead. For the last year I have struggled with intermittent symptomatic bradycardia which leaves me never knowing from one day to the next how I will be. It's impossible to plan anything, I'm off work and I am hoping that my decision will go some way to helping address some of my symptoms. Glad to have found this site, I can identify with many of the posts and I love the little 'You know you're wired when.........' quotes. Thanks for reading. x

If you know you'll need it one day but have symptoms now, why wait?!  Hope you get to feeling better soon. 

You know you're wired when...

You trust technology more than your heart.

One week has passed and I must admit that each day I feel a little stronger.
