Heart Rate Response

I've been fatigued for about 6 wks now and can feel like I'm about to get completely out of breath several times a day with or w/o activity. Had appt with doc yesterday, they interrogated my pacemaker, it is working fine. They said I have one of the few PMs that has the ability to change the heart rate response -- they upped my heart rate response timing and I cannot get over how great I feel. I have probably told hubby 20 times that I didn't realize just how yucky I felt until they did that little fix.

Still going in for echo and stress tests as I had an episode of complete exhaustion mid Feb, went to ER and all tests were normal but they want to see if any changes from same tests I had Nov 2008.

Technology is great!!!!!!!

May all of you have a great day.

Hi this is Jeane from Texas and I was just wondering which Pacemaker you have as I am having some issues as well.

Biotronik is the manufacturer of my PM, dual chamber. It's now been about 24 hours since they did the fix on the heart rate and so far so good.

You know you're wired when...

You invested in the Energizer battery company.

Try to concentrate on how you’re able to be active again and feel normal, rather than on having a machine stuck in your body.
