My pacemaker is now 5 years old. It is key to my slower heart rate and has just been reprogrammed to control my AFIB following 2 ablations. The problem I’m having now is the monitoring (first with the phone app, now with an in/home monitor) isn’t working. They didn’t even notice I hadn’t had a reading since Feb. I’m trrribly anxious because the reprogramming made the pacemaker the sole control over my newly ablated heart. I’m in a conflict with my cardiologist monitoring staff. They can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong. I’m awaiting a “fix” of some kind from Medtronics because the cardiologist’s staff has given up. They are very rude, and take no responsibility for the failure to monitor me for 6 months. I had a trouble/free experience until the June reprogramming. But they never noticed they weren’t monitoring me! I don’t know what to do if Medtronic’s can’t fix the problem. Be sure you get info about this post-implantation issue. Nobody really explained it to me, and now I’m in a scary situation. Anybody have any advice?
