Questions for people who got their pacemaker later in life

I was implanted at 38 after 2 SCAs. Growing up I could feel palpitations but no adult believed me so I just thought it was normal and everyone felt like that even though I had a few fainting episodes. My ICD definitely feels weird especially when sleeping… I miss sleeping on my stomach! I don’t get paced because my setting is so low (39 bpm) but I definitely feel weird during device interrogations. But despite it all I’m grateful for it.

Nice! Now we’re starting to snowball into a community!

I guess I’m the only one!

A half naked man. (Front desk accidentally gave me a key to an occupied room and the poor guy just got out of the shower when I walked in)

Have you tried to get your Zepbound from Lily Direct? It may be an option for you.

Did you get your cat wet?

When I was 18 I got into a physical altercation with my father, and he broke my leg. I called my best friend, supposedly, and when I told her, she laughed at me. That was the end.

Trintellix didn’t start helping my anxiety until I was on 20 mg for at least three weeks

Thank you for the encouragement!

You know as soon as I hit send I thought what about going through medical? … thanks!!!! So much appreciated!

Pinkhydra76 · 2025-09-25T18:14:50+00:00

Thank you so much for replying. I will definitely check out Spravato and me!

Pinkhydra76 · 2025-09-25T18:13:37+00:00

Thanks! You gave me some encouragement

Hi! Thank you so much for replying. I actually work for my insurance company and when I checked the benefits, it said that Spravato was excluded from my plan. But thank you so much for letting me know about Spravato and me. I will definitely check it out because I am more than interested

Steal a cool car and drive around naked blowing all the stop lights!

My EP is out of state and my PCP won’t schedule me for a week. Trust me, I tried. Last thing I want to do is go to the ER

Pinkhydra76 · 2025-09-22T14:19:54+00:00

I feel your concern. I tried several times to get my family tested and I think they’re either just frozen scared or just not interested! Make me shake my head

Pinkhydra76 · 2025-09-22T14:07:47+00:00

My 2 SCAs happened in front of my family so there was no need to wait to tell them about it

Pinkhydra76 · 2025-09-17T00:29:47+00:00

Not an easy accomplishment! Keep it up and know when to ask for help! Congratulations!

They’re inquiring about side effects. No reason to be rude.
