But first we need a dedicated and separate pacemaker support group category. This thread is incredibly long and involved. A more direct connection would be helpful. Your thoughts?

Why not just ICD/Pacemaker Support Group?

Dear All, I came here in early 2023, shortly after I had an unexpected pacemaker implanted (for a 4.5 second complete electrical blockage), after a history of a low resting heartbeat and increasingly frequent PVCs. I’m so grateful for my pacemaker, and also for this Heart Rhythms group, where I’ve learned about the connections between my SILENT reflux and my Paroxyzmal A-fib and hiatal hernia, and what side to sleep on, as well as the Pill in-the-pocket concept, ablation, cardio version, Gatekeepers, and Eliquis issues, which led me to the clinical discovery that I also have a PFO. So although I came here specifically searching for a reputable online support group for us Pacemaker People, I am very grateful for what this more inclusive group is teaching me. Just my 2 cents’ worth.
