Has anyone had a Micra (leadless), wireless pacemaker implanted ?

@walkinggirl thank you for your reply
This heart block diagnosis was a total shock to my system. At 62 and relatively active, having my heart go into arrhythmia during a stress test was a frightening experience for both my doctor and me. After several scans and an evaluation with the Electrophysiologist (EP), the cause was confirmed as heart block.
True to my motto, 'Plan for the worst and hope for the best,' I want to join this support group to learn from the lived experiences of members rather than relying on AI diagnostics. I have blood work and an MRI scheduled for March 10th. Once my EP reviews those results, we’ll finalize a treatment plan. While he is currently leaning toward a pacemaker—possibly by the end of March—I am still holding out hope that the issue might resolve on its own.

@64nguyen I am so glad to read that you are taking a proactive stance and are well on your way to coming up with a plan with your EP. Are you associated with a COE? Your tests are this week, I am impressed at how fast your care is moving along. Yes, we hope our issues will resolve on their own, my heart murmur that did not go away on its own eventually led to the hypertrophic cardiomyapthy diagnosis. We are fortunate that medical intervention is available even though we don't realky want to be members of these clubs. Let us know of your test results and the next step for you. The highway of life has off and on ramps, we get off, do what we need to do and use the on ramp to continue.
