Settings

I got my BPM 5 years ago.  I felt terrible, could not get out of bed, and my blood pressure which is always low dipped to very low.  I kept calling my EP and he ignored me.  I finally raised a ruckus and he promised he would do something about it.  NADA!  Still no calls, no action.  I had  my yearly appt with my Cardiologist and told him how bad I felt and how my EP was doing nothing.  He did a ton of tests.  My EP's nurse called the very next day and told me to come to the office and the EP was going to personally walk me to the lab to have my BPM reset!!!  After a lot of experimenting with settings by another EP, at the very end when she said stop, I got the best breath I'd had in years and continued to greatly improve  after that.  It pays to be persistent and INSIST!  Needless to say, I have a new EP.

In fact after the final "tweaks" of my pacemaker programming at the one year check up it is working so well that I forget I have it.
