Not a medical expert and certainly cannot give guidance on what to do.

I have a ICD/Pacemaker. My pacemaker part pulses my heart to beat at 70 BPM. Have you talked to a EP about having a pacemaker to pulse your heart which seems to me would prevent the heart from beating as you are getting a mechanical electrical pulse of heart.

Because of medication my heart rate would be in the 30s. With pacemaker it stays steady at 70 BPM.

I would definitely consider contacting a Electrophysiologist (EP) to let them go over your case and see if they can help you. If the pacemaker would prevent the medication interfereing with your heart rate issue it might bo something to consider.

I would at least get a second opinion and also see a EP.

My cardiologist has never talked about a pacemaker or defibrillator. I also suffer from Superventricular Tachycardia and Ventricular Tachycardia. She has been treating me with Furosemide, Losartan and Nadolol. Seems unconcerned unfortunately. You offer excellent advice and I will ask her about it. Thank you.
