I had cardiac arrest 3 months ago and it left me with many issues and it’s a lonely road. A world with gaps.

Thank you for this video, very informative. There is 1 point though that I think would help people. There is an activity sensor in the Medtronic ICD (accelerometer) and yes my device will pace me on an extremely bumpy road, construction as well. My normal heart rate driving is 50-55 and I have seen it go over 100 when on a rough road. Also I have had my ICD since 2016 and worked in a power plant. My employer had an EMI test done and determined several areas of the plant where I was restricted from entering so this is an option as well.

I got an ICD implanted 11/2023. Last week got a call from the hospital asking if I am ok. The ICD signal sent to the hospital indicating "Elevated Optivol since 10/29/24. However, thoracic impedance has started to trend back up towards WNL" . It means it is indicating potential fluid overload or heart failure exacerbation. I am still freaking out since I don't have any symptoms. All I remembered was that week I did a lot of exercise such as CrossFit, & hiking, and also spending time in the sauna and steamroom while on vacation in Bali . Do you know if that might be the reason with the fluid retention?

How about my motorcycle

After having 2 cardiac arrests within 20 minutes of each other while on holiday. I was placed in an induced coma for 3 days and left the hospital after having an ICD fitted I was released from hospital 21 days later. I should now be able to live a normal life span and the ICDs are 98% effective.

Does beta blocker i.e alprazolam.....taking for anxiety problem....causes heartbeat not raise up as before....takes extra effort

Wow i thought i was the only one who had been shocked that many times i had 12 cardiac arrest back to back it was the scariest thing ever. My doctor's said they heard of it but hadn't seen it before

Thank you for this helpful talk!

Jellis, you are an absolute force of nature!💪😃. I look forward to your videos & hearing your words of wisdom. I can really relate to so much of what you talk about here, particularly taking those small steps, exposure therapy & the what-ifs…& of course, learning to be kind to be myself. It all takes a lot of strength & determination, doesn’t it?! Best wishes as always from one heart warrior to another💪 Stay well 😊

I am grateful to have survived sudden cardiac arrest. I was in a coma for about a month. When I woke up my memory was damaged badly. I could not recall who my mother was, nor my children. I am grateful to have come out, i had to relearn how to walk, take speech therapy and each day is a blessing. I have a ICD as well. Keep up the videos I appreciate the info.

Truly inspiring, thank you! We are not alone 💪❤

This is interesting’ and looking at it from what’s happen to me. I was told I had 2 options after I had 1 case of VT the safest thing for me was a ICD implant or could try meds . I’m 52 always been fit and healthy always enjoyed cycling and running keeping fit as a father. So life with my ICD well I have had 3 shocks from it and each time it’s hit me I’ve not been working hard physically it’s just gone off. All the doctors say is it detached a VT rhythm and the data on 5he device says the heart was up to 200bpm , and yet I was talking and there was no hard breathing and my wearable garmin was only at 100bpm . Now I have the psychological thing that this thing can hit me any time. The shocks hurt me I’ve never had back problems but the last shock the pain in my lower back was very painful. I’m awaiting a VT ablation which they want to do. But why have a ablation if the icd just goes off I don’t really want a procedure and more scarring if it’s going to continue to shock me when I’m not doing anything physically . All the hassle and stress it causes I wish I didn’t have it in me. Would love to here your thoughts!!!!!

I've been awake during the shocks (therapy) I've had. All of them happened at home. No one around. One person at the emergency room (different er visit) said, "hey you have a guardian angel with you at all times, that's so cool". You have to also know that there is something called ATP pacing. Your device will attempt to slow the rhythm down first, but if it exceeds parameter settings it will deliver a LIFE SAVING shock and you will be on your feet instantly. Follow all instructions by your cardiologist. Ask lots of questions. 7% vs 98% survive-ability?? Any questions? feel free to ask.

Poor girl: getting tested to death. Big Phama/Medical will test you until your insurance is used up. I suggest that if she is asymptomatic she should avoid them. Eventually they'll overtreat some minor anomaly then have to treat the problems that their testing and "solution" cause. The number 4 killer in America is the medical profession.

Fantastic. Thank you so much.

She is SMART & PRETTY.

Get off Lisinopril.

Thank you Matt for sharing.

Thank you very much for a thorough and articulate answer. I appreciate this clip very much. 🙏

Thank you for this information, It has helped me so much today. After my cardiac arrest 5 months ago, and my surgery to put my ICD. I have been pretty good without symptoms of any kind, completely released from my Drs. With the reassurance that my heart is completely healthy, no scar tissue, no blockage, no damage of any type what so ever to my heart tissue. Etc. well, my palpitations came back these past two days and I wasn’t prepared to deal with the PTS. This program and your channel is great. I have so many questions. Wish I could contact you. Thank you for what you do.

Great clip! I really don't think my EP should have implanted this icd. I really don't think that I'm at great risk and, unfortunately, I've lost trust in my EP and the the cardiologist who sent me to her. (I'm no longer buying what they're telling me.) This is a great clip! Thank you so much!

Thank you for addressing the complexity of needs that require a transdisciplinary approach following SCA. Had a full vfib arrest (no notice), and ICD placed almost 2 years ago. Would still be glued to the couch without cardiac rehab, physical therapy and EMDR...and family support. Hang in there fellow survivors!❤

It's a great topic, and very relevant to me and a lot of others. I had a VT episode and was defibbed. Few days later ICD was implanted. Felt pretty good. Then while recovering had a SVT while doing mild/moderate exercise. ICD fired twice. Been sedentary since, lots of anxiety if my HR gets over 110. Appt to discuss an ablation with the doctor soon, but the anxiety about getting shocked weighs heavy on me all the time.

If you want to learn more about mental care for ICD carriers and cardiac arrest survivors, be sure to check out the full Q&A episode with Dr. Sears, available here: ruclips.net/video/UPTq1zEWXWE/видео.html&index

A truly humbling & honest podcast from you both. We are all walking a path we never knew we would be on & it’s hard. Thank you for sharing this. Happy wedding wishes Grant! ☺️

I really enjoyed doing this. It felt good to talk about my experience. I hope someone can get something from the discussion. Love this project and the work Jellis has put into it.

No thank you. I had a very small chance of having a stroke during an ablation and I ended up having 3 of them. I've been shocked by a high powered cow fence in the late 70's... Knocked the wind out of me and threw me about 5 feet. Serious fear of electrical shock. And my anxiety about when it's gonna crack me would be off the charts. I also know two people personally who have them and from what they told me, there's no way

If one has heart rate issues, especially if it stays over 100, beta blockers will save your life.

I just got an ICD implanted 8/19/24. These videos are very helpful to me as I recover from my surgery as it helps me know what to expect and answers a lot of the questions that you just don’t think to ask before the surgery or are afraid to ask. Thank you for your channel and the work you do on here. I really appreciate you.

I messed around and got one but it seems like now walking from my room to the front do all of a sudden my heart rate goes from 86-105 just walking to stand at the front door when that was never the case before.😳😩 I just don't want to be a lab rat on something that's not right yet. I truly have anxiety over this😒 I want it out already…

Oh hell no ... They wanna put one in.... not gonna happen

I have an ICD for 2 years now. .Off course I am older, so it is a bit easier to except how it influences my looks. But at 52 my thoughts were: I am (a bit) proud of my scar. Because it shows I had to go through some tough times, and still are...So why shame about it? People are lucking not needing one. And otherwise there are lots of people with different diseases. So dr. Samuel Is right!! I guess he learned it by listening to his patients.

What's the warranty period of Medtronic icd MRI S? Is the patient given a warranty document for the device upon implantation?

Another brilliant episode Jellis! I do feel that the mental impact of living with a heart condition and/or an ICD is so often overlooked. Dr Sears is right….“If you’ve worked on the heart, you’ve worked on the mind”. Never a truer word spoken. Some great coping techniques discussed, and some very thought provoking points made.

My ICD was installed on 2021 due to I went into code blue in the hospital. I received strong shocks...the last one was so f,*** hard it knocked me down and I was like imbalance..then on March of this year , I started to have chest pains, shortens of breath, dizziness and ended up in the hospital Afterwards, I had no control of fainting spells, dizzy spells, shortens of breath. It is so depressing, because you don't know again if you are going to be shocked. The medications were adjusted, and slowly but still going through the fainting spells that comes and unpredictably. Dizzy spells is slowly balancing. Cardiologist had a serious talk about my health challenges. I would need a heart transplant. The constant shocking of the defibrillator causes your heart to get scared and that's is not good. One day at the time..that's all I can do.

Very informative. I love understanding everything I can about living with my ICD.

My husband had a cardiac arrest two months ago , after cpr he went to coma for a week , when he woke up he totally lost his memory 😭 is it possible for him to remember again 😭🙏 btw he was also being treated by therapy ,please tell me

Consider also if someone of you had the COVID shot. It depends on the batch if someone will have heart problems or not.
