Pacemaker
I had a pacemaker put in about 8 years ago. Then about 5 years ago, I had that pacemaker removed and a defibrillator pacemaker put in its’ place. Am I the only one who didn’t feel any differently when each of my pacemakers were installed? I don’t faint anymore. That is about the only difference. As far as being aware of a pacemaker, I feel nothing. Maybe that is a good thing. Maybe I feel so well, maybe I don’t feel anything.
Wow! I hope I never get shocked.
I have my 3rd pacemaker defibrillator it’s a 3 lead CRT. I have had pacemakers for over 15 years. 2 weeks ago I got shocked In the middle of the night. I had gone into ventricular tachycardia- it threw me out of bed and SAzvED my life! Dr confirm it was a good shock. I love my pacemaker ❤️
Sher3, I think many people don’t feel anything from their pacemaker. I don’t think we are that unusual. I have had 2 different pacemakers. The first one was just a regular pacemaker. After a couple of years, my cardiologist felt I needed a pacemaker with a defibrillator. The surgeries were easy, and I have never noticed either one working. You can’t ask for more than that. Every night, I thank God for the advances in treating heart disease. I also ask for more advances to be created.
If I didn’t know better, I would swear I have nothing, certainly not a pacemaker with a defibrillator in my chest.
I feel my pacemaker defibrillator all the time I still get dizzy and don't have much energy
