@ejstolte Nice to meet you and Yes our type problem is not the Normal. But I can say after 10 years dealing with the episodes that I still did every physical activity I wanted or needed to. When I was first diagnosed i was about 50. I was still working a job I loved as a communication Tech visiting mountain repeater stations and sub stations where my communication equipment was located. So I remember when I got my first pacemaker I was so nervous being around High Power transmission lines and we even went into the generator areas of the Dams like Hoover, and others. So my work actually allowed me to get a gauss meter to see how high the magnetic waves got. Luckly my pacemaker could handle 1 Gauss which is a pretty high value, Of all the readings they were below 1/2 a Gauss so I was safe. Plus my doctor said that after visiting some of those really big ones he was able to check and see if my pacemaker showed any problems and there was none. So long story short I was able to work another 10 years and get closer to retirement before I had to retire due to the Heart transplant i ended up getting in 2018. Even now I still love hiking, long walks and play Golf all activities I enjoy. With the pacemaker I also did all those things and even went up to 10,000 foot mountains. So my advice is to not worry and keep up with the exercise.

Ill be here anytime you want to share stories.
