Thank you, Dana. I did ask again. They denied it. I have spent the last 2+ years trying to figure out why I was having chest pain and dizziness and fainting. It took going to the Mayo Clinic and being on a heart monitor to figure it out. I was told that maybe I was not drinking enough water, etc. The episodes happened when I was at rest. My cardiologist called me, and I answered when I was at pickleball. She said that if I could play pickleball, my request was not an emergency. I had an appointment in 3 months. When I finally had the paramedics here based on my Holter monitor, and they determined that my episodes were happening when I was at rest, it made sense. I could play pickleball for 2 hours and go to hot yoga for an hour because when my heart rate was up, it would function fine. When I was at rest, my heart rate would drop to 30 or below, and I would pass out. Plus, I had episodes of my sinus rhythm stopping for 10-15 seconds. Looking at the larger picture, I still do not understand why my chest pains that I had intermittently for 9 months and my dizziness and fainting during that period and even for the 2 years prior (less frequent) do not deem a pacemaker critical "enough" so that cardiac rehab is covered under insurance. It makes me sad. I am competent "enough" that I can look online and figure out what I need to do to rehab on my own. It sure would be nice to have support, especially emotional support. I guess this is what I am hearing on this site. You have all been through similar experiences, and you "get it". Together, we can support each other. I feel grateful to have found this site. Thanks again, Dana.
