I live on a second story and after my heart attack and ICD install I tired quickly after any physical exertion but I got up our stairs no problem.

Well how did you take the stares from people at work and your apartment before the implant. Maybe you're just really attractive and turn heads...

Do you really belirve you would be restricted from walking up stairways after your implant? Why in heaven name would you think that? There is almost nothing you can't do with a pacemaker. Pull yourself together and start living again, stop the worrying.

Two weeks post-surgery you should be able to do anything you were able to do before.

Your doctor might ask you not to raise your arm over your head for a while. The length of time to restrict movement varies, a lot, from doctor to doctor. But let's be clear: your arm will still work just fine. You will still be able to raise it. You just might choose not to, on your doctor's advice.

Everyone is different, but for many people, recovery is a breeze.

Thank you everyone for the clarification.

You know you're wired when...

You read consumer reports before upgrading to a new model.
