Just wanted to add a bit to jc76 about the exercising. I had a 31 bpm when I got my pacemaker in Sept. 2022. The pacemaker will allow you to be active again. My "thing" is strength training. Took off 12 rather than 6-8 weeks from exercise. Started slowly but steadily. Almost 3 years now. Cannot believe what I've been able to do. And, it brings me joy as well as strength.

Getting a pacemaker is a physical and emotional blow to our systems. It takes time to deal with it. There are ups and downs and it isn't easy. I felt old and weak, and fragile. I was afraid to exercise at first. I cried and whined and griped. You do what you need to do. And, it does get better. I will be 78 in two months.
