Thanks

I appreciate everyone’s response, I don’t know much about pacemakers and you all have been very helpful. I never thought much about a PM until my Dr called me at work just a few days ago and told me I need one right away. This didn’t leave me much time to investigate anything. But I did find this site and I’m glad I did. Does anyone know if there is a link between A-Fib and Essential tremors? I started have both at about the same time and the meds are the same for both problems. It just seem odd that both are treated the same way and started at the same time. But neither of my Dr’s think they are relaled, I’m not so sure. Thanks again for being here to help.

Essential Tremors

by ElectricFrank - 2008-12-10 10:12:36

Essential tremors are a disturbance in the neurological system of the body. So is afib although in a different area of the body. It would seem to me that they could be related, but it is hard to tell.

Keep in mind that none of our observations hold much credence to a doctor unless there is supporting research. Of course there isn't likely to be research unless there is money to be made in some drug or procedure.

I have a well tuned pacer. I hardly know I have it. I am 76 year old, hike and camp alone in the desert. I have more energy than I have had in a long time. The only problem is my wife wants to have a knob installed so she can turn the pacer down.
