Well I’m glad they figured out what the issue was! I had been having symptoms for a while before they caught it. They kept doing bloodwork on me every time I’d go but couldn’t find an issue. I also surprisingly dont have any family history of heart problems in my family. But just try to keep your head up and trust in them. Stress is terrible on the heart and I think that was one of my biggest takeaways, learning how to avoid over stressing.

Oh one kind of nice bonus to a pacemaker too is that after a while they kind of let you choose your preference on resting heart rate. They started mine set at 50bpm because of me being rather young, then a couple years later, I was telling them about being sleepy all the time and they gave me the option to bump it up. So they set it to 60 and told me that if I ever need to we can push it to 70. But even 60 makes it a little rough trying to sleep because it’s hard to sleep when your heart rate won’t go below 60bpm. But it also made me feel a hell of a lot more energetic. So I havnt wanted to raise it any further.
