Hi! My life with a PM started Aug 9th after passing out a few times which lead to a loop recorder being implanted. It picked up a 15 second “pause” and passing out which necessitated a PM. It has been going well since implantation. The best thing for me was to start walking Day 4!! Slow and steady at first and usually 2-3 miles a day now! (I have known for years that I also have BAV and Aortic Aneurysm that we are monitoring)

Can you go into what a loop recorder is and it's concept versus a ICD/Pacemaker? I would like to know your experience with a loop recorder and why your cariologist or EP went with that device versus typical ICD/pacemaker?

I have learning now about all these new devices that are not the past pacemaker devices. I have a ICD/pacemaker from Boston Scientific and on my 3rd device.
