No Afib Until Pacemaker

Bradycardia it’s not uncommon in someone who is athletically fit as you seem to be with your walking. My doctor suggested the pacemaker to me for various other reasons. I told her no thanks. That’s just me that’s not for everyone. I think I would get a second opinion from an outside source of doctors. See what they have to say about the matter. Is it possible to have the pacemaker removed? I don’t know, but I would definitely get a second opinion.

Although I am very unhappy about the effects of the pacemaker, I don’t think I was rushed into it. I did get a second opinion and more than 18 months and quite a bit of monitoring elapsed between when I was identified as a candidate for a pacemaker and when they recommended I get one. I have my fingers crossed that the ablation will help.
