How many months before I can move normal? My incision isnot yet dry andstill hurts when I lift my hand high, thank you for your videos.

What about playing a electric guitar is that a no no

Thank you for this, I love weathered wood and as it is so hard to find and if you do find it it is too rotten for use. So thank you so much! (A friend of mine told me about this so I looked it up and there you were)

Does the pacemaker lead move or displace if we do heavy lifting

Am 58 and waiting to get a difliburator fitted due to having heart diagnosed in 2004 i had a double heart bypass in 2001 just recently had an MRI heart scan revealed more scarring waiting time i have severe arthritis in my hips so not much i can do in exercise going up n down the 2 flights of stairs in my home is like mountain climbing lol i live in 3 story house one toilet ground floor second toilet top floor

I had a double heart bypass in 2001 diagnosed with heart failure in 2004 now 2024 i recently had a MRI and more scarring on the heart has been detected so my cardiologist says i need a pacemaker so waiting time now

Where did you get the spellbook?

I didnt get a sling . just told not to lift heavy things and not strech my arm over the head.

Great information I am getting a pacemaker in July possibly with a defibulator.great information Thank you.

One over Mine is being able to use a welding machine again like a stick welder. Or a mig welder. I also run heavy equipment and the balancing. And shoving around In the machine concerns me.

I had a sudden blackout / collapse a few weeks ago, then got fitted with wearable heart rate monitor for two weeks. I do wonder what the results will show...

Hello: my name is Alicia. I live in Arizona. I have been listening to your comments for a year almost. May 12, 2023 ,I had my pacemaker implant. After the surgery, I had so many unanswered questions. I am lucky to have found you, because I have learned so much from you. My life changed dramatically, from an energetic 78 year old, full of life and vitality to an anxious slow moving being. I suffer two months of dizziness and unbalance, i was afraid i was to suffer a stroke at any moment. Once I was called in for a devise check up, it was discovered that there was something unusual going on with one of the leads. It was tuned and since I have no issues. Now it’s a matter of regular check ups. Thanks to you, I have learned to keep my mind still and take it a day at a time. You are my inspiration and I pray the Lord to keep you safe and healthy. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing, I recently found out I may need one and I’ve felt so many emotions but bottom line is I’m scared…scared of what this means for me. So thank you for making me feel a little bit better about it 🥹

How low was your heart rate?

Were you able to see the corona at all where you were? We were in kerrville and never saw it

I'm getting a pacemaker implant on May 6th & am pretty nervous needless to say BUT after watching a few of your videos I'm getting a little less nervous. So thank you for all the great info u have shared. It has really been quite helpful to me & I'm sure many others😊

Great guy great vibes

I’m trying to decide between starlink or hiboost signal booster for 8 weeks out traveling in national parks. Wish I could do both. Do you have cell signal booster? Or what would you do differently? Stick with starlink? Thanks!!

Plz advice did I noticed any changes during flight? I mean on air because am afraid of hight altitude and nevigation aircraft interference, plz advice

Better way . Wash steel wool with Dawn dish soap . Rinse it real good , dry then put in bucket or jar with vinegar. Will dissovle quicker because it won't have to eat through the fine oil coating on the steelwool .

My cardiologist & electrophysiologist recommend CRT-p for a third degree block or left bundle branch block. I was put on two different beta blockers for 10 months but remained at reduced EF 40-45%. Finally wore a Zio monitor which saw three episodes of pauses. Like you, however, I didn't ever feel nauseous or faint. My blood pressures have always been on higher end. Am now reading lots on how beta blockers can cause the heartbeat pauses. Electrologist said he wouldn't even consider pacemaker in my case, if I didn't have the pauses. I'm going to ask for another Zio monitor to see if after being off the beta blockers for over 4 months, will the pauses have gone away. I know people live many years after implant but it is still a huge adjustment!

Thanks for your advice. I'm a morning walker, but in my second year 2023, I have shortness of breathe. I was only for check up. I was admitted in hospital for a pacemaker because I suffered from bradycardia. I was last month for my 6months check up. Cardiologist said my leads shifted. Terrified. After they fixed it,I felt good. Thanks for your videos. I learned alot. Stay save.

Thank you for being honest and for the information. I'm almost 70 years old, and about 4 weeks ago, I had a pacemaker installed. I had the same fear about my life expectancy. I still have a lot of concerns, but what can you do? You just have to bite the bullet and go on. At least, that's the only thing I know to do. Again, thank you for the information.

The idiot at the courthouse security told me to put my hand over my pacemaker as he went over my body with a wand. Like my hand would protect it from magnetic forces somehow. It triggered a tone from my ICD. Every metal detector security needs to go through device training. Not guess what should be safe.

Which pacemaker did you get leadless or leads??

I just got a call from my cardiac Dr and I you tube and great info ty❤

This was 5 years ago at 1 year. I'm the same 1 year and 3% triggering. Also thinking I don't need pacemaker but for me because I think the data is incorrect.. It's set at 30 bpm. However Zion monitor for 2 weeks showed Zero trigering

I’m getting an ICD March 26 and I am worried about being a cyborg.

Hi, my name is Don.I am 66 and thought i was in great shape.i was going to the gym 3-4 times a week right up to the day I went to my cardiologist.I was there just for a check up,and 2 hours later I was in the ER.My doctor told me my heart rate was dangerously low,and I would need a pacemaker.I was in denial,I told him I just left the gym and I felt fine.With that he sent me to the hospital,where I discovered my heart was down to 45 beats.The following day i had a pacemaker installed,which I still not cannot believe.well,2 days later I even felt better than I could imagine.The only symptom I had was a little shortness of breath, it didn't sink in until I was in ICU. I thanked my wife for forcing me to go to the the doctors in the first place.With all that said I feel much comfort watching your video and knowing there is life after a pacemaker.I cannot wait until I go back to the gym,and yes less worry about money and enjoy life to fullest.I wish you the best in your health,and the fun times ahead with your family,and again thanks for the video. PS: I am only in day 5 and feel great !!

Live a happy & healthy life, good wishes

Very cool the way u did it. Great job

I just had the surgery a month ago and had and have the same fears as u.... It's been a mental struggle

Such a helpful video! Thank you!! :)

Thank you for sharing. This helped me out so much. I’m one month out.

Thank you for updating your progress. It was very informative and helpful to me. I'll be getting my pacemaker day after tomorrow. I'm Praying mine will go well .May God bless you with continued good health.

Omg this was so helpful! I recently got a pacemaker last month and was afraid I wouldn’t be able to ride these rides anymore. I’m not sure what brand you have but I have Medtronic

Nice to meet another "younger" PM patient. I got my first one when I was 40. I'm due to get "upgraded" to a biventricular PM in two weeks, about 8 years sooner than I expected.

Good to see you again. I'm now into my late 5th year and they say that I have over a year left before the battery needs replacing. My pacemaker "phones home" via a special cell phone with no buttons on it that sits on my night stand. It collects daily data from my pacemaker and relays it to my heart doc's office. Three weeks ago it reported a problem and they called me to have me come to their office. They decided that the wire leading to the upper chamber of my heart was "no longer functioning correctly and must have come loose." They changed the program in my pacemaker so it would run on just 2 leads, but when I left the office I knew that something wasn't right, so turned around at the elevator and went back. They made some more changes, then sent me on my way. It was Friday and almost 5 PM, so they were likely eager to go home. Over the weekend and into the next week I was getting more and more tired, resulting in an ambulance trip on Friday morning because I almost didn't have enough energy to make it to the breakfast table. I had the beginning pains of a heart attack in the ambulance, but it went away before we reached the hospital. I spent that day and two more days in the hospital gradually improving, while they ran tests on me. A field service rep from the pacemaker company came in and ran tests on me too, and could find nothing wrong, so he put me back on the 3 lead program again and I'm feeling better. Now I'm feeling about how I was before they called me to come in. This was 3 weeks ago, and I seem to be doing about the same as before all of this happened. I'm now waiting for an appointment with the Doc that put my pacemaker in to decide what happened to me, and where we go from here. The pacemaker rep also said that my battery should last me at least a year and a half more and probably longer. I've been staying close to home since then. In fact, I'm spending most of my days upstairs in my photo/video studio. It's one of my financially "out-of-control" hobbies. The other, also a bit "out-of-control" is my woodworking shop. I design and build Exhibits for the State Science Museums as a volunteer, whenever they need me. For these, I do everything except for the graphic arts, since most of the museums have a full department of people to do that. Take care. We both need to best of luck to keep going. Charley

Thanks for the update! I already had my pacemaker replaced a couple years ago because they gave me one with a second lead and a defibrillator. It wasn't bad at all. They made me stay overnight as a precaution. Like you, my next pacemaker replacement will probably use the current leads. I am at 80% after two years. Good luck with your health!

Thank you so much for sharing, I am a bit more than 3 months from getting my pacemaker. I learn so much from you.

I appreciate your positive revelations on having a pacemaker. I am 76 and was told I need a pacemaker soon and felt it would be the end of life as I have known, but you inspired me to plan a more meaningful life with family and friends while I can. Thank you.

From the looks of your picnic table, it makes one wonder if you used this technique on it. The table definitely has a more uniform finish.

What brand/type of PM did you get?

Rhank you so much. I will be getting pacemaker I. February. All your information has helped put my mind at ease. May God bless you in your journey.

Got sleep apnea in 2001. Have been well functioning on a CPAP since then, and in 2021 I had AV-Block, so doctors gave me a standard PM for pacing my heart rate, if the rate went below 30. Sadly enough, that PM (2-lead) was only attached to the right heart chambers. Eventually it leads to dysfuncion in the syncronisation of the Left and Right part of the heart, leading to severe fatigue, breathlessness, central sleep apnea and lifethreathening worsening of my Ejection Fraction from 60% down to 23%. I have now been offered a Biventricular Pacemaker (CRT-P 3 leads), which stimulates both sides and synchronize them, and should bring the heart pump back to normal again. It was running like a motor missing two spark plugs. Hope it will work.

Thanks for your information

I had a pacemaker fitted a couple of weeks ago but i was given little information so i must do some research.

Great video...thank you!

I got 2 devices
