Merry Christmas pacers! Hope everyone is doing well. Had a great day yesterday, feeling really weak today. don't know if I over done myself yesterday or what. Going to see my family Doctor tomorrow, see if she can help me figure out what going on. tomorrow makes6wk since my pacemaker was implanted. Maybe I am just not giving myselfenough time.

You know you're wired when...
You have a little piece of high-tech in your chest.

I'm 35 and got my pacemaker a little over a year ago. It definitely is not a burden to me. In fact, I have more energy (which my husband enjoys), can do more things with my kids and have weight because of having the energy.
Who knows ...

... I remember when I became an insulin dependent diabetic, over 20 years ago. a while later I wasn't well, and went to my doctor about it. He gave me advice I remember well: "don't assume everything that happens to you is related to the diabetes"!
You don't say what you did yesterday, and if this was more energetic than usual. You are right to consider the time since pacemaker insertion though: I know they say six weeks for the physical recovery, but presumably there was an underlying reason why it was inserted, (your profile doesn't say what) and it can take much longer to fully get over the changes you have been through. Don't worry unless it becomes persistent, which may suggest you need your device settings checked and adjusted.
