Pacemaker recipients: Looking for support from others

Hi, @markjones -- I thought I'd move your post here to introduce you to other Mayo Clinic Connect members who have mentioned pacemakers. Though I recognize not everyone's situation is the same, I thought these members might have some insights for you as you are looking into the possibility of having a pacemaker for life and what that might look like. @hopeful33250 may also have some thoughts for you.

Hi balubeje,
No my diagnosis is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which doesn't typically require a pacemaker, but the surgery to correct my thickened septum will likely impact my left bundle branch, and I already have a right bundle branch block, so that means I'd likely need a pacemaker for life because I would be completely blocked.
Thank you!

Thanks, Lisa! I see my original post now on this forum (separate post). I'd greatly appreciate any comments to it! To any of you who can provide feedback, it's probably better to reply there than here since it provides the background and type of feedback I'm seeking. Thank you.
Had my pacemaker 5 years and it has changed the way I live but i still do most of the things but maybe in a different way

I'm not sure the circumstance being faced...here's the but-if you are facing the possibility of a pacemaker and your diagnosis is bradycardia I would be glad to offer what I know for me. You will find a lot of positive and informative people on this location.
