Finding the connection

A-fib can happen whether you have a pacemaker or not. It is more common in older people. The pacemaker doesn't cause it. Lots of times a-fib has no symptoms, and the a-fib is intermittant, so it's possible that the pacemaker may have detected a problem you've had for a long time.

There are lots of causes of fluctuating blood pressure. I can't say what the cause is in your case, but a common cause is aging. The pacemaker doesn't cause it.

If there is a connection between the three, it's being older. Bummer.

You know you're wired when...

You need to be re-booted each morning.

I'm 43 and have had my pacemaker four weeks today. I'm looking forward to living another 50 years and this marvelous device inside me will help me do that.
