@michaelkf22153 Welcome to Connect! We are willing to share experiences here on Connect. I see this is your first post and you are experiencing anxiety regarding your shiny new pacemaker. Yes, it's a big step to become a bionic person. While you are probably glad it's there to do a necessary job, it's very human and normal to think about the "what-ifs." What particular "what-ifs" give you pause? I see that @jc76 has responded with much reassurance and optimism that you will eventually feel more at ease. He has had devices for 20 years and shares his experiences with all of us. I am a relative newbie, acquired my ICD (named it Buddy) 3.5 years ago after experiencing electrical issue after-effects following a septal myectomy. How did your doctor decide that a pacemaker would be beneficial to you? We at Connect encourage people to learn all they can about their issues, this helps understanding as well as to formulate questions for your doctor. Here is a link to read more about your pacemaker. https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/pacemaker/about/pac-20384689
