Thanks for letting me know it was helpful, that’s why I made it. I hope you have a smooth recovery, and your device helps you feel better. Keep in touch to let me know how you are doing, best wishes!
Thank you so much for your video I am two days out of surgery learning experience I passed out on the Fourth of July and they inserted the pacemaker on the seventh 63 year old heavy equipment mechanic a real wake up call !!!!! I work 55 hours a week .Time to start enjoying life.
Hi Andy, that must have been scary passing out and finding out you needed a pacemaker. The good thing is that the pacemaker helps prevent that from happening again. I hope you can take it a little easy and rest while you recover. I hope you feel better, and get back to doing what you want. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for letting me know you found the video helpful. I hope you have a speedy recovery, and start to feel the benefits of your pacemaker. Let me know how you are doing after a little while.
Interesting that you mentioned pacemaker induced Tachycardia. I’m two weeks out and have had Tachycardia three times. I’m also set at 60BPM. Thanks for the heads up. Will definitely discuss with Dr.
It is pretty concerning when it happens unexpectedly. I had to be persistent when telling the doctor what was going on, because I didn’t know what it was called. I hope you can get it tuned and corrected soon. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you are feeling well.
I am a 75 yr old women with a too slow heartbeat. I got my pacemaker 4 days ago. Just happened upon your video and have subscribed; I could learn more here. I also have A. Fib. Thank you for doing this.
Hi, thanks for sharing. I hope you feel better as you continue to recover. The implant site will hurt or be sensitive for a while, but with some time you probably won’t even notice it is there. Best wishes, and thanks for watching!
Hello, I have been given a pacemaker,a week ago, fitted because I have a slow heartbeat, bradycardia, I've collapsed twice at work. Still very tender at the incision site. I'm 55 years old. Thank you very for your video. Take care.
Hi, thanks for telling us about your experience. It will be tender for a while, but it will heal. I hope it is helping you now so you are not passing out anymore, I’m sure that was scary. Best wishes and take care. Thanks.
Well, presented video. I am helping a loved one with a pacemaker and I have found it's a BIG learning process. And I actually have been working in heathcare for numerous years. Educate yourself and it will reassure you more and more. The more you know the better. Use your booklet that came with the pacemaker as a reference.
Thanks for the feedback. Every visit to the cardiologist I ask more questions. I find the pacemaker manufacture hesitant to provide detailed information, often referring me back to my doctor. Thanks for watching!
@@CyborgVlogWe received a booklet from "Medtronic" (yours may be a different brand). It was like a car manual, lol. It had frequently asked questions and dos and don'ts. We recently received a "Relay" monitor to put in the bedroom within 10 feet away. It records the info from the pacemaker. We haven't programmed it, yet. It has the capability to transmit this information when programmed.
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.
I had mine 1 month ago.but I still have pain because of keloid process.but the pacemaker works properly.This morning at the store I felt like a pace only for 1 or 2 mns,I was so scare.Thanks for sharing your experience.before my surgery I watched your videos.it's was helpful.I work in the medical field,I know what it is,but getting it yourself it's an another thing.Thanks again.
Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad to hear that sharing my experiences was helpful for you. I still have periodic discomfort around my scar, but it's mostly dry skin that lotion helps with. It can be scary to feel your device pacing, but at least we have them to help our heart beat. Thanks for watching and commenting! Best of luck to you!
Just had a pacemaker implanted on Dec. 21/20. See surgeon in a few days and I hope he can solve the issues I am having. Thanks for posting your journey with a pacemaker.
It may take a little while for the doctor to get it tuned just the way you need it, but remember it is there to help you. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you have a speedy recovery.
It’s natural to be scared when you have to have surgery on your heart. Trust that the medical staff will do everything they need to for you to be safe during and after surgery. I hope everything goes well and you have a speedy recovery. Thanks for sharing, and let us know how you are doing.
Hope your procedure went well and your healthier now. Wish u the fullest and happiest life you could ever possibly live. My moms a few hours away from this and it's freaking me out. Anyway...hope u had a short recovery. Prayers for you and all cardiac patients
Thanks for sharing about your mom. Have confidence in the doctors and hospital staff, they will do everything they can to help your mom. I hope she has a speedy recovery, and feels better .
I’m glad to hear that you are feeling better now! Sorry to hear about your experience going back to the hospital, that must have been scary. I’m glad you are through that and feeling better, all my best wishes for your continued recovery. Thanks again for sharing your experience!
I might be getting one. Not sure yet. Bradycardia. I do find I’m out of breath sometimes, after doing something physical. So, I appreciate these kind of videos, as I like to be informed.
Thanks for making this video. I'm 32 and currently being tested to see if I need a pacemaker. I have a 2:1 second degree AV block so I'm a little nervous about the whole thing. It's nice to hear your experience!
Hi Rose, it is natural to be nervous when you learn you have a heart condition. I was nervous, worried, angry, and pretty much every other emotion at some point. If you do need to get one, it may feel strange at first, but after a while it is just a normal part of you. Remember it is there to help you live a long and happy life. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes!
@@brittanyolson5235 Hi Brittany! My doctor is hesistant to put a PM in right now because of my age so they're just tracking my symptoms right now and following up every 3 months to see if my symptoms are presenting severe enough for a PM. I did have a three day hospital admission a month ago because of a severe AV Block episode so it wouldn't surprise me if my doctor wants to go ahead with a PM soon. How have you been doing with your AV Block?
@@rosejohnson7603 this is great information, thank you. I was given a Zio patch and the results were me have 1- 8 heart blocks a day. I had an ablation procedure a year and a half ago for SVT my new symptoms started about 4 months ago heart block had never been an issue before then and of course with covid now I can't see my doctor for another month due to long appointment wait time. Trying to seek out as much information as possible. Are you having symptoms daily? What are your symptoms?
I’m sure the doctors and nurses will take great care of you! Try not to be nervous, but I know that is easier said than done. It is an emotional time for you I’m sure, but once it is done, hopefully you can take it easy and recover. I wish you luck tomorrow, and I hope you feel better after it is done. Let me know how you are doing after, best wishes!
Hi Windy Philips, it is natural to be scared going in for heart surgery. Trust your medical team to do what is best for you, and remember that the pacemaker will help you live a better life afterwards. Best of luck, and I hope you have a speedy recovery.
I hope your recovery is going well. If you come up with questions, just write them down to ask your doctor the next time you’re in the office I also looked on the device manufactures website for information. You have my best wishes and I hope you feel better.
Just had mine implanted 4/27/21 home and feeling nervous just watched and nice to here it's going well!!! I'm being test for apnea as well 49 will be 50 in June 👍🏻
Hi Jeff, I hope you’re feeling well today. It is a scary time after having something attached to your heart. I was very focused on what it was doing at first. I’ve had it three years now, and it has become normal to me know. Sometimes I forget I have it. I hope you have a speedy recovery, and be sure to ask your doctor any questions you have. No need to worry about things when you can get info from the doctor. I hope the pacemaker helps you feel better!
I set for surgery October 7 2021 for LYMES disease induced bradycardia fm 2012. I am nervous this will limit me on camping off grid, boondocking. I will have to limit my schedule but hopefully not too much. Thanks for sharing the info in reprogramming of your pacemaker. I have 43 average HR. I will suggest 60, no higher. Thanks again!!🙂
Maybe you should limit your camping during the surgery recovery period, but if things are going well after that, it shouldn’t be too limiting. I only go in for checks about twice a year now. Bring up your concerns with your doctor. Thanks for sharing, and let me know how you are doing after your surgery.
@@CyborgVlog thanks for the input. I had planned on going late November but due to this I am now going January 2022 if every thing is ok. Hopefully all goes well.
Good video, matches my situation to the T. Just had my pacemaker placed on Nov 6th 2023, one day before my 65th birthday. I came to the US from the Philippines where I retired to get the pacemaker. I'm concerned about the check ups over there? I'm staying with family right now.
Hi, I hope you’re healing up well after your surgery. I understand your concern, but with so many people with pacemakers, I’m sure there are doctors who can do the checks. It only requires a laptop and reader that connects wireless to the pacemaker. I hope you are feeling better, and can start to get back to your normal routine. Best wishes!
I hope you’re doing well, and feel better after your surgery. I’m going on 5 years now, and doing good. Please keep us updated on your progress, best wishes!
Thanks for sharing, I’ve been through the airport several times since I made that video and haven’t had any problems. I’ve even been through the metal detector with no issues. I hope you have fun on your vacation!
@@CyborgVlog I got my PM back in Sept at 57. Heart rate was hitting as low as 13 BPM and was pausing for up to nine seconds in deep sleep. The last few days before the surgery my daytime average HR was in the mid twenties. I like to ride my bicycle hard, so I've had some adjustments to the device as well. Since I was able to ride up Vail Pass here in Colorado Saturday morning I would say I'm pretty happy with the results.
I’m glad to hear you got back to doing what you enjoy, and that the pacemaker is working well for you. I bet it was a beautiful ride, thanks for watching and sharing.
I have 3rd degree Heart Block and I am asymptomatic. Ill be having a doctor's appointment soon. Looks like i might need a Dual chamber PM. Feeling anxious. Thanks for giving so much vital information.
I was asymptomatic as well, since it only happened when I was asleep. Finding out you need a pacemaker is an emotional time, I went through a wide range of emotions, scared, angry, then relieved once it was implanted. It is perfectly normal to be anxious, but doctors are great at implanting pacemakers. I wish you the best, and if you do get one, you can have peace of mind that your heart has a computer backup.
Thanks for letting me know the video was helpful! I hope the pacemaker is helping her feel better, and I wish you and your mom the best while she is recovering.
That's just a few days away. It's natural to be nervous, but know that pacemaker implants are common. It will be over before you know it. Once you recover you will feel better than ever. I wish you the best with your surgery, and thanks for watching! If you want to, leave an update after your surgery to let us know how you are doing.
Dorcas... how are you feeling now. I have been with a PM since Oct 24 and still getting use to it as far as discomfort goes. I was diagnosed with Tacacardia .Other than that I have been enjoying a normal heart beat for the first time in my life. Blessings on your healing.
Welcome to the cyborg club. I hope you have a quick recovery, and are able to get back to the things you want to do. I'm almost to three years now and going strong. Thanks for watching and joining the conversation!
My pacemaker has been working fine, but I'll be going in for catheterization on Nov 4, 2022. I've already got 7 stents, so I may need bypass work this time. If all goes well, I'll post again.
I enjoy watching your video. I had a pacemaker implanted nearly 4 months ago and i am very anxious every time it paces because i feel as if my heart is popping out. Is this something you experienced!
Hi Rita, yes I felt that way at first too. Have you talked with your doctor about it? They may be able to change some settings to make it more comfortable. Also, over time you will become used to it , and hopefully you won’t notice it as much. I hope you are recovering well, best wishes!
25 years old here and 20 weeks pregnant and just got my pace maker yesterday. Just in a lot of pain where the muscle is and my left arm 😢 I just want to be okay.
Hi Taylor, sounds like you are going through a lot right now. I bet it has been scary for you, and worried about the baby I’m sure. I hope now that you have your device, and as you continue to recover, you feel better. The pain should get a little better each day, and eventually you won’t even know it’s there. Just give yourself some time to heal, and let your doctor know any concerns you have. Thanks for sharing, and let me know how you are doing after a little while. Best wishes.
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
Hi pferguson1313, So that means you've had a surgery about every two years? That is a lot. Are you using your pacemaker most of the time? I have come to think that it is better to be using the pacemaker, and living, than the alternative. I hope your new one last longer too. Good luck and thanks for watching and commenting!
I have had my pacemaker for 15 months now and I had it lowered to 50 several months ago. It is now going below 50 so I am not sure what they will do now. I still have to keep my arm close to my body because I am slight and not muscular. I definitely feel irritation if I move my arm a lot.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope that your doctor can get your pacemaker tuned just right for you. I’m sorry to hear about your discomfort, and I hope it feels better as time goes on.
Dam thank you for sharing your story, I really appreciate it! Back on December during lockdown, I was having fun with my friends and I was doing drugs (hard drugs) everything looked normal like the usual parties we used to go to but then I tried a new drug which led me to an OD. Funny thing thing is that hours before that happened I was signing I got so high that I saw Jesus by Noah Cyrus... creepy I spent New year's eve at the hospital, doctors said everything was okay and I can go home.. I got cleaned and as the months went by everything looked normal until one day during the afternoon out of nowhere I feel the same symptoms when I had the overdose, they rush me to hospital and they tell me I actually do have something wrong with my heart since I was born but it was "activated" thanks to the OD. I just turned 25 and I feel so sad cause I have Tachycardia (apparently I have something else too) and I'll probably use a pacemaker since my meds are not quite working... its been 4 months since I started this journey and I feel like I lost my self. I don't recognized who I am since I can't do what love anymore. I used to be very athletic but now I can't swim, I can't go to parties, I can't run, I can't watch horror movies, I can't drink coffee, tea, coca cola and even I can't listen to my favorite music because everything will trigger my Tachycardia. Now I also suffer from anxiety which I never did. I don't want to die young and I don't want bring this negative energy to the universe but I feel I will die young... I don't blame my friend's nor drugs, it was my decision and I had fund while doing it but now I have to deal with this new/harsh reality. Thanks for reading if you did haha my old self would never write something like this, I just wanted to vent...
Thanks for sharing all of your experience, and sometimes it feels good to vent. It is difficult to hear you have a heart problem at any age, but especially at a young age. I know I was scared and angry about it when I found out. Right now you are feeling normal emotions and with time and help for your doctors, hopefully you can return to doing things you like. I know it can feel hopeless and that you might die soon. I felt like that at first too, but people can live long full lives with pacemakers. If your doctor thinks it will help, don’t be too afraid to get it. Try to think of it as something that can help you. I wish you the best, and let us know how you are doing in the future.
Thanks for the video! My first pacemaker was inserted while I was in the hospital for heart surgery in October 2020. I had no problems. In July of this year they replaced the leads and gave me a dual chamber model with a defibrillator. Everything was fine for a couple days until I began sitting at the desk. When I leaned forward my diaphragm got stimulated. Is this how it feels when babies kick? So I stopped leaning forward until I could go in and get adjusted. It has been fine ever since. Like you I often forget that I have it.
I'm planning on doing a video about airport security in the future. I did talk about going through metal detectors at Disneyland in this video if you are interested. ruclips.net/video/o38rrYnR-3o/видео.html
I show the scar from my surgery in my Pacemaker problems video. They are usually placed on the left side, above the chest muscle and just below the collar bone. Sometimes it is put in other spots depending on the individual circumstances. We don’t make any new noises after the implant, just the same human noises we always made.😀
My DAD JUST had PACEMAKER SURGERY on May 3rd 2021..he was feeling so GREAT NO PAIN. ON the 3rd day morning of the May 5th he had PAIN EARLY that MORNING...I feel that the ANESTHESIA had worn off from the CUT in the CHEST and the PULLING BACK of the SKIN..He took IBUPROFEN for pain and slept. He feeling MUCH BETTER NOW. I HOPE TODAY IS THE WORST HE'S GOING TO FEEL. I WILL BE MONTERING HIM. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
It will take a few weeks for the area to heal, and it could be sensitive for months. I hope he can take it easy, and not do any strenuous tasks. If he is in pain you can contact his doctor to see what they say. They should be able to help. Thanks for watching and for your question. I hope he feels better soon!
Thanks for sharing. I had mine implanted Dec 13, 2021, in Jan 3, detected one lead of the lower chamber dislodged, second surgery Jan 24, now I am still well aware of the device, pacemaker, stuck on my chest, I can feel the beats if I am rushing. I wonder how do you know which lead is helping you breathe, I was first diagnosed with bradycardia
I hope you are healing well after your second surgery. Ask your doctor if you are curious about what your device is doing, they should be able to answer your questions. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes.
Just saw my doctor to review results of a 48 hour heart monitor. My heart rate got down to 33 BPM. My bottom pressure is in the mid 50's and high on the top. I have been on BP medication for years. He scheduled me for a stress test on Monday and pacemaker implant the following week. I am 66 years old and nervous about getting this done. I had a dual port implanted several years ago for chemo treatments and it was very uncomfortable and I was very glad to have it removed when I finished my treatments. Any advise?
It is a scary to hear that you have heart problems and need a pacemaker. It is natural to have all kinds of emotions. The way I started to look at it was, “well at least something can be done to help.” After your surgery you will have a backup for your heart. Instead of dropping too low it will keep your heart beating like you need. The implant area will be sensitive at first, but after the recovery period, it should not be too noticeable. After my implant surgery, it was sensitive to bumps with in the car, and even brisk walking. Each week it felt a little better, and now I have no discomfort at all. I forget I have it most of the time, it’s not on my mind anymore. For now, trust that the doctors and nurses will do everything they can for a successful implant, and that it will help you. I’m happy to live at a time where medical science can help. Let me know if you have other questions, and let me know how you are doing. Best wishes!
Hey, my dad is getting a pacemaker on Monday. What was you EF before getting then pacemaker and has it improved since you got it? I will really appreciate your reply
My EF was and is normal. I just had several second pauses late at night while sleeping. That is why I needed the pacemaker. I hope your dad feels better after his surgery.
Hi Cyborg, thanks for sharing your experience. I was wondering if you can comment on the possibility of doing pull-ups again after pacemaker implant, provided the patient is conditioned for it. Do you think the Dr. would advise against it?
Hi Mannington, I think pull-ups would be fine. I havn't tried myself, but I have lifted heavy equipment at work over my head without any problems. After the recovery period you should be able to do all physical activity you did before. It may take a while for all the discomfort to go away, but after it heals you probably won't even notice it. My doctor told me I had no restrictions on physical activity and working out. I didn't specifically ask about pull-ups, but I can't think of any reason the doctor would say not to do them. The only thing the doctor told me to do is stay away from very strong magnetic fields. Let me know if you have any other questions I might be able to answer.
Please check with your doctor, and your device manufacturer about what you shouldn’t do. It is probably not a very long list. I was told no restrictions on exercise, and holding your breath never came up, but ask your doctor to be sure.
I have not traveled internationally since getting the pacemaker. However, my doctor says I have no restrictions. I have taken vacations and I was nervous at first to be far from the doctor, but it was fine. Many devices are sold internationally and you may be able to have it checked in other countries. If you need one, talk to your doctor and choose the best one for you. Best of luck, and thanks for watching.
Hello My name is Ahmad I am from India I am 24 years old I had pm 17 Feb 20 after was my hand sewel my life totally change I feel strange was too much stress I don't know what do always mind there I was doing lot physical activity now all off but sometimes if I do something like suddenly got pain in chest or between chest
Hi Ahmad, Have you talked to your doctor about the pain? It might take you a little while to get adjusted to your device, and it may need to be tuned. I hope the best for you.
It is because my heart rate slowed when I’m in my deepest sleep. I also am treating sleep apnea which helps. I have been exercising, but not sure if that effects my pacing. Hope it it helping overall health though 🙂thanks for watching and commenting!
I think you should give your cardiologist a call to see what they say. If you are feeling unsure about something, they should be able to talk to you about it and provide guidance. I hope you are healing well after your surgery. Best wishes.
Hello, I’m 18 years old and I just got my pacemaker and I had it maybe for like 6 months and I always feel my heartbeats and it’s really uncomfortable! Did you have the same problem and if so did it go away with time ?
Hi, when I first got my pacemaker I was always focused on what my heart was doing, so I noticed everything. Over time I would get distracted or occupied with other things, and not notice my heart beat. After a year or so it became so normal to me, I don’t think about it too often. For you it might be shorter or longer, and depending on your device settings. If it is bothering you, I would bring it up at your next doctor visit. I hope you are feeling better now that you have your device. Thanks for watching and sharing.
Mine really bothered me too until I got in with a good cardiologist that ‘tweeked’ it right. It felt like it was pounding majority of the time. I’m 8 years out now & still have problems , but heart problems run strong in family. Best of luck 🙏
Hi ! I'm 29 years old .. I had a pacemaker implanted 3 weeks ago and i have a 4 month little girl .. I'm wondering when will I be able to carry her and lift her .. it's very important please answer me
Hi, I had to wait 6 weeks before lifting anything more than 10 pounds, but check with your doctor to make sure. I did pick things up earlier, but only with my right hand.
I think he should be able to. There are some limitations around strong magnetic fields, but most activities are OK. As long as he follows his doctor’s advice. Thanks for sharing and I hope he is feeling better.
Well I have a few thoughts. The doctor can't force you to show up at the hospital. As long as you are able to make sound medical decisions for yourself, I don't think a doctor will force you to get it. With that said, the doctor has a good reason to tell you to get it. If you don't feel comfortable with that doctor, call another for a second opinion. That's what I did. The second doctor did a better job of explaining why it was necessary. It is natural to be wonder if you really need it, I took a few days to get my head around the idea. When the news is fresh, it can be overwhelming. I hope that answer helps a little, best of luck to you.
CyborgVlog thanks I’m just very stubborn but I wanted to ask someone who actually went through the process. I already have a leaky valve so it’s don’t want anymore problems in my life.
@@juannieto1987, for me the negative impact of having the device were minimal. Worrying about metal detectors at airports, not lifting heavy things right after surgery. After the recover period, I really have nothing in my day to day life that I have to limit or change. I actually feel better having it, knowing my heart has a battery backup, so I wake up each morning.
CyborgVlog I appreciate the insight you have regarding the pacemaker. The good outweighs the bad in this case. I appreciate all the replies. Thank you sir!
that is all l need to know to not get a pacemaker. my biggest fear is to feel it and if so l will drive me insane to the point of suicide so thank you for this vid
Can you lift like normal with a pacemaker? Even working chest? I am not interested in lifting heavily in my upper body but I just want to know if you could work chest normally?
@@CyborgVlog Yeah, I am just at the end of my first week after leaving the hospital and they said no exercise of any kind for six weeks, but as long as I know that I can work my chest and back normally, which another video says that I can, than that makes me happy. Don't want to lose what I have built up after all of these years you know?
I understand. It may still be sore after 6 weeks, but will feel better a little everyday. After enough time you should be 100% and not even know you have it. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you feel better.
Hello, that heart rate seems to be a little low, but different people can have lower resting heart rates and be fine. You should ask a doctor about it since it is a concern for you. I’m not sure if a doctor can prescribe any medication, but they will know what is best. Thanks for watching and commenting. Best wishes, and let me know how you are doing in the future.
I’m sorry to hear that you are feeling scared, that is never good. Have you had the opportunity to go to the doctor and talk about it? I hope you can get some answers.
@@CyborgVlog Have had almost all the test must see a special specialist now not sure of the outcome but just hearing someone discussing the problem is a comfort thank you
I hope you get some answers, and I wish you the best. Know there are others who have gone through this before, and your doctors will do what is best. Please keep in touch!

Thank you ❤
Just had mine implanted. Thank you for this video, really helps to understand what I'm to expect 🙏🏻
Thanks for letting me know it was helpful, that’s why I made it. I hope you have a smooth recovery, and your device helps you feel better. Keep in touch to let me know how you are doing, best wishes!
Thank you so much for your video I am two days out of surgery learning experience I passed out on the Fourth of July and they inserted the pacemaker on the seventh 63 year old heavy equipment mechanic a real wake up call !!!!! I work 55 hours a week .Time to start enjoying life.
Hi Andy, that must have been scary passing out and finding out you needed a pacemaker. The good thing is that the pacemaker helps prevent that from happening again. I hope you can take it a little easy and rest while you recover. I hope you feel better, and get back to doing what you want. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your personal healthcare information with us. It's very helpful!
I'm happy to share if it is helpful to others. Thanks for letting me know!
Thank you so much for sharing. I just had my pacemaker implanted and you have giving me hope.
Thanks for letting me know you found the video helpful. I hope you have a speedy recovery, and start to feel the benefits of your pacemaker. Let me know how you are doing after a little while.
Interesting that you mentioned pacemaker induced Tachycardia. I’m two weeks out and have had Tachycardia three times. I’m also set at 60BPM. Thanks for the heads up. Will definitely discuss with Dr.
It is pretty concerning when it happens unexpectedly. I had to be persistent when telling the doctor what was going on, because I didn’t know what it was called. I hope you can get it tuned and corrected soon. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you are feeling well.
😢Thankful for you today. I was totally in the blind to arm in sling,complications and ALL it involves
Enjoy your Day
I hope you’re doing well.
I am a 75 yr old women with a too slow heartbeat. I got my pacemaker 4 days ago. Just happened upon your video and have subscribed; I could learn more here. I also have A. Fib. Thank you for doing this.
Hi, thanks for sharing. I hope you feel better as you continue to recover. The implant site will hurt or be sensitive for a while, but with some time you probably won’t even notice it is there. Best wishes, and thanks for watching!
Hello, I have been given a pacemaker,a week ago, fitted because I have a slow heartbeat, bradycardia, I've collapsed twice at work. Still very tender at the incision site. I'm 55 years old. Thank you very for your video. Take care.
Hi, thanks for telling us about your experience. It will be tender for a while, but it will heal. I hope it is helping you now so you are not passing out anymore, I’m sure that was scary. Best wishes and take care. Thanks.
Well, presented video. I am helping a loved one with a pacemaker and I have found it's a BIG learning process. And I actually have been working in heathcare for numerous years. Educate yourself and it will reassure you more and more. The more you know the better. Use your booklet that came with the pacemaker as a
reference.
Thanks for the feedback. Every visit to the cardiologist I ask more questions. I find the pacemaker manufacture hesitant to provide detailed information, often referring me back to my doctor. Thanks for watching!
@@CyborgVlogWe received a booklet from "Medtronic" (yours may be a different brand). It was like a car manual, lol. It had frequently asked questions and dos and don'ts. We recently received a "Relay" monitor to put in the bedroom within 10 feet away. It records the info from the pacemaker. We haven't programmed it, yet. It has the capability to transmit this information when programmed.
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.
Nice to meet you, and thanks for sharing. I hope your surgery goes smoothly and you have a quick recovery.
I had mine 1 month ago.but I still have pain because of keloid process.but the pacemaker works properly.This morning at the store I felt like a pace only for 1 or 2 mns,I was so scare.Thanks for sharing your experience.before my surgery I watched your videos.it's was helpful.I work in the medical field,I know what it is,but getting it yourself it's an another thing.Thanks again.
Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad to hear that sharing my experiences was helpful for you. I still have periodic discomfort around my scar, but it's mostly dry skin that lotion helps with. It can be scary to feel your device pacing, but at least we have them to help our heart beat. Thanks for watching and commenting! Best of luck to you!
It is scary hang in there I am trying as well praying 🙏
Just had a pacemaker implanted on Dec. 21/20. See surgeon in a few days and I hope he can solve the issues I am having. Thanks for posting your journey with a pacemaker.
It may take a little while for the doctor to get it tuned just the way you need it, but remember it is there to help you. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you have a speedy recovery.
So I was wondering can a pacemaker come out
Yes
Thank you for this. I'm scheduled for this surgery this Thursday. I'm really scard but I appreciate you telling your story.
It’s natural to be scared when you have to have surgery on your heart. Trust that the medical staff will do everything they need to for you to be safe during and after surgery. I hope everything goes well and you have a speedy recovery. Thanks for sharing, and let us know how you are doing.
Hope your procedure went well and your healthier now. Wish u the fullest and happiest life you could ever possibly live. My moms a few hours away from this and it's freaking me out. Anyway...hope u had a short recovery. Prayers for you and all cardiac patients
Thanks for sharing about your mom. Have confidence in the doctors and hospital staff, they will do everything they can to help your mom. I hope she has a speedy recovery, and feels better .
My surgery was crazy. I ended up back in the hospital but I must say that I am doing good and feeling like myself again. Thank you for your support.
I’m glad to hear that you are feeling better now! Sorry to hear about your experience going back to the hospital, that must have been scary. I’m glad you are through that and feeling better, all my best wishes for your continued recovery. Thanks again for sharing your experience!
I might be getting one. Not sure yet. Bradycardia. I do find I’m out of breath sometimes, after doing something physical. So, I appreciate these kind of videos, as I like to be informed.
Thanks for making this video. I'm 32 and currently being tested to see if I need a pacemaker. I have a 2:1 second degree AV block so I'm a little nervous about the whole thing. It's nice to hear your experience!
Hi Rose, it is natural to be nervous when you learn you have a heart condition. I was nervous, worried, angry, and pretty much every other emotion at some point. If you do need to get one, it may feel strange at first, but after a while it is just a normal part of you. Remember it is there to help you live a long and happy life. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes!
Hi Rose! I have 2nd degree AV type 1 too. What ended up happening with you?? I am worried I am going to have to get a PM.
@@brittanyolson5235 Hi Brittany! My doctor is hesistant to put a PM in right now because of my age so they're just tracking my symptoms right now and following up every 3 months to see if my symptoms are presenting severe enough for a PM. I did have a three day hospital admission a month ago because of a severe AV Block episode so it wouldn't surprise me if my doctor wants to go ahead with a PM soon. How have you been doing with your AV Block?
@@rosejohnson7603 this is great information, thank you. I was given a Zio patch and the results were me have 1- 8 heart blocks a day. I had an ablation procedure a year and a half ago for SVT my new symptoms started about 4 months ago heart block had never been an issue before then and of course with covid now I can't see my doctor for another month due to long appointment wait time. Trying to seek out as much information as possible. Are you having symptoms daily? What are your symptoms?
I’m going to get one in the morning. Wish me luck I’m nervous my drs are great though.
I’m sure the doctors and nurses will take great care of you! Try not to be nervous, but I know that is easier said than done. It is an emotional time for you I’m sure, but once it is done, hopefully you can take it easy and recover. I wish you luck tomorrow, and I hope you feel better after it is done. Let me know how you are doing after, best wishes!
Thank you glad your ok as well. I’ll be watching ur videos. I follow your page.
Just happened upon your channel, am scheduled again for pacemaker implantation, am terrified, this has really helped.
Hi Windy Philips, it is natural to be scared going in for heart surgery. Trust your medical team to do what is best for you, and remember that the pacemaker will help you live a better life afterwards. Best of luck, and I hope you have a speedy recovery.
May i ask what was wrong with the first
@@beverlyhoward3512 Most common reason to get a new device is the battery running low on the first.
I had a pacemaker fitted a couple of weeks ago but i was given little information so i must do some research.
I hope your recovery is going well. If you come up with questions, just write them down to ask your doctor the next time you’re in the office I also looked on the device manufactures website for information. You have my best wishes and I hope you feel better.
Just had mine implanted 4/27/21 home and feeling nervous just watched and nice to here it's going well!!! I'm being test for apnea as well 49 will be 50 in June 👍🏻
Hi Jeff, I hope you’re feeling well today. It is a scary time after having something attached to your heart. I was very focused on what it was doing at first. I’ve had it three years now, and it has become normal to me know. Sometimes I forget I have it. I hope you have a speedy recovery, and be sure to ask your doctor any questions you have. No need to worry about things when you can get info from the doctor. I hope the pacemaker helps you feel better!
CyborgVlog thanks for reply and yes feel lots better and will ask questions for sure
I set for surgery October 7 2021 for LYMES disease induced bradycardia fm 2012. I am nervous this will limit me on camping off grid, boondocking. I will have to limit my schedule but hopefully not too much. Thanks for sharing the info in reprogramming of your pacemaker. I have 43 average HR. I will suggest 60, no higher. Thanks again!!🙂
Maybe you should limit your camping during the surgery recovery period, but if things are going well after that, it shouldn’t be too limiting. I only go in for checks about twice a year now. Bring up your concerns with your doctor. Thanks for sharing, and let me know how you are doing after your surgery.
@@CyborgVlog thanks for the input. I had planned on going late November but due to this I am now going January 2022 if every thing is ok. Hopefully all goes well.
I’m glad it was helpful. I hope everything goes well for you.
Thank you ,I am on the waiting list for a pacemaker l
Will follow you .
Thanks for watching. I wish you the best for your implant surgery.
Good video, matches my situation to the T. Just had my pacemaker placed on Nov 6th 2023, one day before my 65th birthday. I came to the US from the Philippines where I retired to get the pacemaker. I'm concerned about the check ups over there? I'm staying with family right now.
Hi, I hope you’re healing up well after your surgery. I understand your concern, but with so many people with pacemakers, I’m sure there are doctors who can do the checks. It only requires a laptop and reader that connects wireless to the pacemaker. I hope you are feeling better, and can start to get back to your normal routine. Best wishes!
I'm a recent pacemaker recipient, thank you for the information, and at what level I should be at in a year or so👍
I hope you’re doing well, and feel better after your surgery. I’m going on 5 years now, and doing good. Please keep us updated on your progress, best wishes!
Thanks for the Vlog. I subscribed. I'm getting ready to go on my first vacation with my PM, so I'm looking forward to watching your airport video!
Thanks for sharing, I’ve been through the airport several times since I made that video and haven’t had any problems. I’ve even been through the metal detector with no issues. I hope you have fun on your vacation!
@@CyborgVlog I got my PM back in Sept at 57. Heart rate was hitting as low as 13 BPM and was pausing for up to nine seconds in deep sleep. The last few days before the surgery my daytime average HR was in the mid twenties. I like to ride my bicycle hard, so I've had some adjustments to the device as well. Since I was able to ride up Vail Pass here in Colorado Saturday morning I would say I'm pretty happy with the results.
I’m glad to hear you got back to doing what you enjoy, and that the pacemaker is working well for you. I bet it was a beautiful ride, thanks for watching and sharing.
I have 3rd degree Heart Block and I am asymptomatic. Ill be having a doctor's appointment soon. Looks like i might need a Dual chamber PM. Feeling anxious. Thanks for giving so much vital information.
I was asymptomatic as well, since it only happened when I was asleep. Finding out you need a pacemaker is an emotional time, I went through a wide range of emotions, scared, angry, then relieved once it was implanted. It is perfectly normal to be anxious, but doctors are great at implanting pacemakers. I wish you the best, and if you do get one, you can have peace of mind that your heart has a computer backup.
Really helpful info... my mom got a pacemaker yesterday.... and we are hoping for kidney transplant in a few months....
Thanks for letting me know the video was helpful! I hope the pacemaker is helping her feel better, and I wish you and your mom the best while she is recovering.
@@CyborgVlog thank you man.... may god bless you
I'm scheduled for a ICD/pacemaker..12/2/19..I'm nervous but ready..thanks for info I've watched all of your videos...I hit that sub and like button.
That's just a few days away. It's natural to be nervous, but know that pacemaker implants are common. It will be over before you know it. Once you recover you will feel better than ever. I wish you the best with your surgery, and thanks for watching! If you want to, leave an update after your surgery to let us know how you are doing.
Dorcas... how are you feeling now. I have been with a PM since Oct 24 and still getting use to it as far as discomfort goes. I was diagnosed with Tacacardia .Other than that I have been enjoying a normal heart beat for the first time in my life. Blessings on your healing.
Just got my own pacemaker last week at 46 years old and it's great to get your feedback after a year
Welcome to the cyborg club. I hope you have a quick recovery, and are able to get back to the things you want to do. I'm almost to three years now and going strong. Thanks for watching and joining the conversation!
My pacemaker has been working fine, but I'll be going in for catheterization on Nov 4, 2022. I've already got 7 stents, so I may need bypass work this time. If all goes well, I'll post again.
I’m sure your doctor will do a good job, best wishes!
I enjoy watching your video. I had a pacemaker implanted nearly 4 months ago and i am very anxious every time it paces because i feel as if my heart is popping out. Is this something you experienced!
Hi Rita, yes I felt that way at first too. Have you talked with your doctor about it? They may be able to change some settings to make it more comfortable. Also, over time you will become used to it , and hopefully you won’t notice it as much. I hope you are recovering well, best wishes!
Thank you this wonderful but it changes your I just want to say thank you you're soul
Wow, thank you
25 years old here and 20 weeks pregnant and just got my pace maker yesterday. Just in a lot of pain where the muscle is and my left arm 😢 I just want to be okay.
Hi Taylor, sounds like you are going through a lot right now. I bet it has been scary for you, and worried about the baby I’m sure. I hope now that you have your device, and as you continue to recover, you feel better. The pain should get a little better each day, and eventually you won’t even know it’s there. Just give yourself some time to heal, and let your doctor know any concerns you have. Thanks for sharing, and let me know how you are doing after a little while. Best wishes.
Thanks for your information
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
thanks for sharing. It is very helpful.
Thanks for watching and letting me know it was helpful.
I have had 3 pacemakers since 2013 and it sucks! I had the new one since June and I'm hoping that it last.
Hi pferguson1313, So that means you've had a surgery about every two years? That is a lot. Are you using your pacemaker most of the time? I have come to think that it is better to be using the pacemaker, and living, than the alternative. I hope your new one last longer too. Good luck and thanks for watching and commenting!
I have had my pacemaker for 15 months now and I had it lowered to 50 several months ago. It is now going below 50 so I am not sure what they will do now. I still have to keep my arm close to my body because I am slight and not muscular. I definitely feel irritation if I move my arm a lot.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope that your doctor can get your pacemaker tuned just right for you. I’m sorry to hear about your discomfort, and I hope it feels better as time goes on.
I just got a call from my cardiac Dr and I you tube and great info ty❤
Best of luck! Thank you!
Dam thank you for sharing your story, I really appreciate it!
Back on December during lockdown, I was having fun with my friends and I was doing drugs (hard drugs) everything looked normal like the usual parties we used to go to but then I tried a new drug which led me to an OD. Funny thing thing is that hours before that happened I was signing I got so high that I saw Jesus by Noah Cyrus... creepy
I spent New year's eve at the hospital, doctors said everything was okay and I can go home.. I got cleaned and as the months went by everything looked normal until one day during the afternoon out of nowhere I feel the same symptoms when I had the overdose, they rush me to hospital and they tell me I actually do have something wrong with my heart since I was born but it was "activated" thanks to the OD.
I just turned 25 and I feel so sad cause I have Tachycardia (apparently I have something else too) and I'll probably use a pacemaker since my meds are not quite working... its been 4 months since I started this journey and I feel like I lost my self. I don't recognized who I am since I can't do what love anymore.
I used to be very athletic but now I can't swim, I can't go to parties, I can't run, I can't watch horror movies, I can't drink coffee, tea, coca cola and even I can't listen to my favorite music because everything will trigger my Tachycardia.
Now I also suffer from anxiety which I never did. I don't want to die young and I don't want bring this negative energy to the universe but I feel I will die young... I don't blame my friend's nor drugs, it was my decision and I had fund while doing it but now I have to deal with this new/harsh reality. Thanks for reading if you did haha my old self would never write something like this, I just wanted to vent...
Thanks for sharing all of your experience, and sometimes it feels good to vent. It is difficult to hear you have a heart problem at any age, but especially at a young age. I know I was scared and angry about it when I found out. Right now you are feeling normal emotions and with time and help for your doctors, hopefully you can return to doing things you like. I know it can feel hopeless and that you might die soon. I felt like that at first too, but people can live long full lives with pacemakers. If your doctor thinks it will help, don’t be too afraid to get it. Try to think of it as something that can help you. I wish you the best, and let us know how you are doing in the future.
@@CyborgVlog Thank you, I appreciate your words!
Thanks for the video! My first pacemaker was inserted while I was in the hospital for heart surgery in October 2020. I had no problems. In July of this year they replaced the leads and gave me a dual chamber model with a defibrillator. Everything was fine for a couple days until I began sitting at the desk. When I leaned forward my diaphragm got stimulated. Is this how it feels when babies kick? So I stopped leaning forward until I could go in and get adjusted. It has been fine ever since. Like you I often forget that I have it.
I’m glad you were able to get your new pacemaker adjusted and you feel good now. Thanks for watching and sharing! I hope you continue to do good.
Hi keep sharing this is very informal
I will, thanks
Thank you, this very useful to me
You should make a video about your airport security experience lol would be interesting. I am looking into pacemakers atm
I'm planning on doing a video about airport security in the future. I did talk about going through metal detectors at Disneyland in this video if you are interested. ruclips.net/video/o38rrYnR-3o/видео.html
Your video is very interesting can you show where the pacemaker is located and do we make sounds
I show the scar from my surgery in my Pacemaker problems video. They are usually placed on the left side, above the chest muscle and just below the collar bone. Sometimes it is put in other spots depending on the individual circumstances. We don’t make any new noises after the implant, just the same human noises we always made.😀
My DAD JUST had PACEMAKER SURGERY on May 3rd 2021..he was feeling so GREAT NO PAIN. ON the 3rd day morning of the May 5th he had PAIN EARLY that MORNING...I feel that the ANESTHESIA had worn off from the CUT in the CHEST and the PULLING BACK of the SKIN..He took IBUPROFEN for pain and slept. He feeling MUCH BETTER NOW. I HOPE TODAY IS THE WORST HE'S GOING TO FEEL. I WILL BE MONTERING HIM. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
It will take a few weeks for the area to heal, and it could be sensitive for months. I hope he can take it easy, and not do any strenuous tasks. If he is in pain you can contact his doctor to see what they say. They should be able to help. Thanks for watching and for your question. I hope he feels better soon!
@@CyborgVlog THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE QUICK RESPONSE I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT 🙏
Thanks for sharing. I had mine implanted Dec 13, 2021, in Jan 3, detected one lead of the lower chamber dislodged, second surgery Jan 24, now I am still well aware of the device, pacemaker, stuck on my chest, I can feel the beats if I am rushing. I wonder how do you know which lead is helping you breathe, I was first diagnosed with bradycardia
I hope you are healing well after your second surgery. Ask your doctor if you are curious about what your device is doing, they should be able to answer your questions. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes.
Just saw my doctor to review results of a 48 hour heart monitor. My heart rate got down to 33 BPM. My bottom pressure is in the mid 50's and high on the top. I have been on BP medication for years. He scheduled me for a stress test on Monday and pacemaker implant the following week. I am 66 years old and nervous about getting this done. I had a dual port implanted several years ago for chemo treatments and it was very uncomfortable and I was very glad to have it removed when I finished my treatments. Any advise?
It is a scary to hear that you have heart problems and need a pacemaker. It is natural to have all kinds of emotions. The way I started to look at it was, “well at least something can be done to help.” After your surgery you will have a backup for your heart. Instead of dropping too low it will keep your heart beating like you need. The implant area will be sensitive at first, but after the recovery period, it should not be too noticeable. After my implant surgery, it was sensitive to bumps with in the car, and even brisk walking. Each week it felt a little better, and now I have no discomfort at all. I forget I have it most of the time, it’s not on my mind anymore. For now, trust that the doctors and nurses will do everything they can for a successful implant, and that it will help you. I’m happy to live at a time where medical science can help. Let me know if you have other questions, and let me know how you are doing. Best wishes!
Hey, my dad is getting a pacemaker on Monday. What was you EF before getting then pacemaker and has it improved since you got it? I will really appreciate your reply
My EF was and is normal. I just had several second pauses late at night while sleeping. That is why I needed the pacemaker. I hope your dad feels better after his surgery.
Did they gave you medication's after the surgery? if they'd do, for how long? and any side effect ?
Antibiotics for a few days, no side effects
Many patients are in beta blockers permanently. Some , not all.
Thanks for that information, it is good to hear from others.
I got 2 devices
Wow, I hope they’re helping you feel better
Hi Cyborg, thanks for sharing your experience. I was wondering if you can comment on the possibility of doing pull-ups again after pacemaker implant, provided the patient is conditioned for it. Do you think the Dr. would advise against it?
Hi Mannington,
I think pull-ups would be fine. I havn't tried myself, but I have lifted heavy equipment at work over my head without any problems. After the recovery period you should be able to do all physical activity you did before. It may take a while for all the discomfort to go away, but after it heals you probably won't even notice it. My doctor told me I had no restrictions on physical activity and working out. I didn't specifically ask about pull-ups, but I can't think of any reason the doctor would say not to do them. The only thing the doctor told me to do is stay away from very strong magnetic fields. Let me know if you have any other questions I might be able to answer.
CyborgVlog
Thank you! 🙏
All the reading material I've read says pull ups, push ups, sit ups, anything that makes you hold your breath is a no no if you have a pacemaker.
Please check with your doctor, and your device manufacturer about what you shouldn’t do. It is probably not a very long list. I was told no restrictions on exercise, and holding your breath never came up, but ask your doctor to be sure.
Did something go wrong with me if I didn't see a doctor after getting a pacemaker did I didn't need
My heart is nutty with AF or flutter .. I probally need one. My concern once you havd can I travel out of the country for long periods?
I have not traveled internationally since getting the pacemaker. However, my doctor says I have no restrictions. I have taken vacations and I was nervous at first to be far from the doctor, but it was fine. Many devices are sold internationally and you may be able to have it checked in other countries. If you need one, talk to your doctor and choose the best one for you. Best of luck, and thanks for watching.
And My Left side totally behave differently like some vein problems hitting me whole left from neck and head too feet
Have you had an ultrasound of your veins to make sure everything is working OK?
Hello My name is Ahmad I am from India I am 24 years old I had pm 17 Feb 20 after was my hand sewel my life totally change I feel strange was too much stress I don't know what do always mind there I was doing lot physical activity now all off but sometimes if I do something like suddenly got pain in chest or between chest
Hi Ahmad, Have you talked to your doctor about the pain? It might take you a little while to get adjusted to your device, and it may need to be tuned. I hope the best for you.
What made you use it less now at night. Is it because you lowered the HR at lower? Has exercise helped.
It is because my heart rate slowed when I’m in my deepest sleep. I also am treating sleep apnea which helps. I have been exercising, but not sure if that effects my pacing. Hope it it helping overall health though 🙂thanks for watching and commenting!
How many years before they will change you pacemaker battery?
Estimate is 10 years from implant since I don’t use it too much.
They don't change the battery. They completely replace your pacemaker.
Did you have an av node ablation
No, this was just how I was born.
I had my CRTD inserted in 9 Feb 2022..after a month..i felt sometimes that i have some palpitations...do i need to go
To my cardiologist?
I think you should give your cardiologist a call to see what they say. If you are feeling unsure about something, they should be able to talk to you about it and provide guidance. I hope you are healing well after your surgery. Best wishes.
Hello, I’m 18 years old and I just got my pacemaker and I had it maybe for like 6 months and I always feel my heartbeats and it’s really uncomfortable! Did you have the same problem and if so did it go away with time ?
Hi, when I first got my pacemaker I was always focused on what my heart was doing, so I noticed everything. Over time I would get distracted or occupied with other things, and not notice my heart beat. After a year or so it became so normal to me, I don’t think about it too often. For you it might be shorter or longer, and depending on your device settings. If it is bothering you, I would bring it up at your next doctor visit. I hope you are feeling better now that you have your device. Thanks for watching and sharing.
Mine really bothered me too until I got in with a good cardiologist that ‘tweeked’ it right. It felt like it was pounding majority of the time. I’m 8 years out now & still have problems , but heart problems run strong in family. Best of luck 🙏
Best of luck to you also. Heart problems are scary, but we have to keep a positive attitude and try to make the most of each day we have. Thanks 🙏
Hi ! I'm 29 years old .. I had a pacemaker implanted 3 weeks ago and i have a 4 month little girl .. I'm wondering when will I be able to carry her and lift her .. it's very important please answer me
Hi, I had to wait 6 weeks before lifting anything more than 10 pounds, but check with your doctor to make sure. I did pick things up earlier, but only with my right hand.
I had a pacemaker implanted 3 months ago...i have a 6 months baby boy...i m 28 years old.. still feeling palpitations and tiredness ..
@@aafreentk ME TO, I HAD MINES A WEEK AGO STILL SORE N TRYING TO GET USE OF NOT BEING ON MY CELL LONG-TIME
My father is 51yr . He is second degree 2:1 av block . Doctor had done pacemaker surgery . Will he live a normal life after surgery
I think he should be able to. There are some limitations around strong magnetic fields, but most activities are OK. As long as he follows his doctor’s advice. Thanks for sharing and I hope he is feeling better.
Can pacemakers be declined by patients or is it mandatory? I couldn’t stand it myself.
Thanks
Well I have a few thoughts. The doctor can't force you to show up at the hospital. As long as you are able to make sound medical decisions for yourself, I don't think a doctor will force you to get it. With that said, the doctor has a good reason to tell you to get it. If you don't feel comfortable with that doctor, call another for a second opinion. That's what I did. The second doctor did a better job of explaining why it was necessary. It is natural to be wonder if you really need it, I took a few days to get my head around the idea. When the news is fresh, it can be overwhelming. I hope that answer helps a little, best of luck to you.
CyborgVlog thanks I’m just very stubborn but I wanted to ask someone who actually went through the process. I already have a leaky valve so it’s don’t want anymore problems in my life.
@@juannieto1987, for me the negative impact of having the device were minimal. Worrying about metal detectors at airports, not lifting heavy things right after surgery. After the recover period, I really have nothing in my day to day life that I have to limit or change. I actually feel better having it, knowing my heart has a battery backup, so I wake up each morning.
CyborgVlog I appreciate the insight you have regarding the pacemaker. The good outweighs the bad in this case. I appreciate all the replies. Thank you sir!
When you are in a deep sleep and the Pacemaker activates, does it actually wake you up from sleep?
No, it doesn't wake me up. I don't even know it is doing it. Thanks for watching and for the question!
that is all l need to know to not get a pacemaker. my biggest fear is to feel it and if so l will drive me insane to the point of suicide so thank you for this vid
Can you lift like normal with a pacemaker? Even working chest? I am not interested in lifting heavily in my upper body but I just want to know if you could work chest normally?
You should be able to after the recovery period. Just check with your doctor first to make sure you are ready.
@@CyborgVlog Yeah, I am just at the end of my first week after leaving the hospital and they said no exercise of any kind for six weeks, but as long as I know that I can work my chest and back normally, which another video says that I can, than that makes me happy. Don't want to lose what I have built up after all of these years you know?
I understand. It may still be sore after 6 weeks, but will feel better a little everyday. After enough time you should be 100% and not even know you have it. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you feel better.
@@CyborgVlog You made me feel so much better. Thanks a lot
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Do You think you could have had a ablation instead of pacemaker
I talked with two doctors and the only option was the pacemaker.
I have picemaker from 2 months can I drive motorbike please tell me
I'm pretty sure I replied on other comments, but you should be able to ride. Just check with your doctor first.
Hello sir my heart rate is between 34to 40 while sleeping it is 29
Is it ok for me my age is 22
There is any medication for increasing HR
Hello, that heart rate seems to be a little low, but different people can have lower resting heart rates and be fine. You should ask a doctor about it since it is a concern for you. I’m not sure if a doctor can prescribe any medication, but they will know what is best. Thanks for watching and commenting. Best wishes, and let me know how you are doing in the future.
❤
Is your aloud to drink alcohol with a pacemaker cause I have one
My doctor said no restrictions, but I don’t over do it. One or two every once in a while. Thanks for watching and the question!
How low was your heart rate?
Under 50, then a 5 second pause.
What is you EF?
?
I had my fourth pacemaker surgery this past Wednesday people just don't understand pacemakers are not what it's all cracked up to be
Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope you have a smooth recovery and are feeling good soon.
Wow I’m scared
My heart rate is at 44 in the day and 38 at night 😢
I’m sorry to hear that you are feeling scared, that is never good. Have you had the opportunity to go to the doctor and talk about it? I hope you can get some answers.
@@CyborgVlog
Have had almost all the test must see a special specialist now not sure of the outcome but just hearing someone discussing the problem is a comfort thank you
I hope you get some answers, and I wish you the best. Know there are others who have gone through this before, and your doctors will do what is best. Please keep in touch!
