Dawg Tired Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 From what my EP told me my heart is "fighting" with this darn pacemaker. Has anyone else had this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackwolf Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 When all my trouble started, my mom had asked the Cardio if a pace maker would help me. He said that was the worst thing to do. The heart isn't what is causing the trouble, it is the signal coming from the brain that is goofed up.Just thought you might like to here a different Doc's opinon.Blackwolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Tired Posted August 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I have heard this since I got the pacemaker. But all the companies that make these pacemakers talk about how great they are for syncope... I'm ready for it to come out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackwolf Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I guess you need to do what's best for you. I personally can't see how a pacemaker can effect syncope? unless your heart almost stops when you stand up.Blackwolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Tired Posted August 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I was told that it would "correct" the arrythmia I was having. But it seems that they CAN'T correct an arrythmia, in other words, the doctor that put this thing in must have needed a down payment on a new Mercedes or something... Since it cost $28,000 just for the pacemaker. His bill was $8,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
