meds after pacer insertion

It sounds like you need to have a good sitdown with your doctor and ask questions! What arrythmia do you have? Why does he feel you need a pacemaker? Some arrhythmias can be corrected by a pacemaker, but some pacemakers are designed to assist your heart so that your symptoms are tolerable. Regarding meds, the doctor will tell you before you leave the hospital which meds to resume and when. Don't be shy about asking questions because getting a pacemaker is a very important event, and you need to know what to expect. Lenora

I didn't go on any meds afterwards. There isn't any one answer here.

Yesterday was my first day mountain biking after my implant. I wiped out several times and everything is fine. There are sports after pacemakers!
