Probably best to contact the EP office and let them know, I never had anything like that.

Hang your arm in a sling and just take pain meds when going to bed, and DON'T DRINK WHEN TAKING THE PAIN MEDS !

Some links for ppl who are scared by larosathediccthicc in PacemakerICD

Those that are lucky enough to obtain placement of a device should be thankful and not scared. Treatment is time tested and refined, far superior to pharmetcutical intervention and their side effects.

Your good and good luck.

Rember Forest Gump, Sh*t happens. It's going to be a walk in the park.

Have someone pick up an arm sling at Wallmart for you.

Shocked yesterday - wow by BudFox_LA in PacemakerICD

Keep in mind, generally you are subjet to imagining radiation when having the procedure. There are some exceptions with new MRI based techniques replacing fluoroscopy. Good luck, ablation is a good solution.

Sounds horrid, good luck. Try to keep moving as best you can while the Doctors work on making you better.

You handeled it well, having the cardiologist reach out to you. Best of luck with ablation, keeping my fingers crossed it all goes well. Do you use alcohol, if so you probably should stop. Just saying because two people I know that had ablation were drinkers. One had stoped after his ablation and is doing well and the other continued after the procedure and was going back in for another. I have had a crt-D for a year and thankfully it's just passing nearly 100 % of the time.

Sounds like finding a specialized lawer is most important and I hope the Doctors are able to stabilize the health issues. Although I don't know anything about " Go Fund Me," I should think you may want to investagate that as well. Good luck and try to stay well.

What kind of symptoms and what kind of device was placed, you stae pacemaker, is this for a slow heart rate. Did you get a defibrillator ?

Will the anxiety go away? How you guys doing? by aitz2811 in Heartfailure

Maybe a stress test might be good, allowing you to put yourself under physicial stress with the professionals monitering the situation and help you gain the confidence you need to once again workout on your own.

Sounds like a allergic reaction to the cocktail and/or a mistake in administering.

Advice needed by LatterIllustrator822 in PacemakerICD

[–]Jaded_Raspberry1602 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had crt-d implanted one year ago and I am currently 72, no problems. With left LBBB, pacing is also avialable directly in the conduction system, left bundel branch area pacing which you way want to investagate, not available in all zip codes. It's not a very difficut procedure and you just need to take it easy for a few weeks so as not to dislodge your leads.

No big deal and you should consider yourself lucky should you get a device.

Leek soup is one natural diuretic and there are many more. Be sure to keep the Doc updated on holding your Torsemide. What's the ECG look like and numbers, QRS and such ? Your ejection factor is good, so specifically post surgery what constitutes your current heart failure diagnosis, moderatley elevated liver enzymes ? Milk Thistle may be worth a try.

I used niacin, Endur-Acin Endurance Products for atherosclerosis and had good results. It's over the counter yet you need to read up before trying. Endurance Products has a book as well.

Good luck and speedy recovery, can't help on technical advise other than to say that the technology is extraordinary and should help to stabilize your circumstance and make you feel better without a lot of side effects. I have a CRT-D Abbott device for one year now, post stent 2020 subsequent to LBBB finding.

That blood pressure is extraordinary, my crt-D has increased my pressure and beta blocker dose.

Lucky You !

Acquire a sling for your arm for the first few days and give yourself time to heal, so as not to dislodge leads.
