@64nguyen Welcome! Every time something new comes up on our health highway, we get a bit anxious and think about how we will live with the upcoming new reality. We are human! First of all, I suggest finding out all you can about having a pacemaker. The Mayo Clinic has several articles: search Mayo Clinic ICD. Here is one link: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/implantable-cardioverter-defibrillators/about/pac-20384692. I received mine in 2022 after a septal myectomy, I was dizzy and giddy and eventually found to be experiencing frequent arrythmia. Its name is Buddy. Each person's care plan is individualized; I was able to go for a slowish 3 mile walk 48 hours after, put my arm in a sling to immobilize that side of my upper body, slept in a recliner for a while. Life is quite normal - I walk, go to the gym, travel, ride a bike and do many physical things. Tell TSA at the airport, some have ICD friendly machines, if not, you get a pat-down. I do miss sleeping on my stomach! I was 76 when I received mine and the dizziness and giddiness never happened again. Getting a pacemaker is doing what you can to lead your best life! Where will the procedure be done? When?
