Your situation seems quite similar to mine. I will be seeing an electrophysiologist in a few months. I have two triggers that set off my arrhythmia thus far. My Fitbit is my captain! On blood thinners. BPM resting at 55. Nightime: 42. What is the ICD? I think, as time goes on, a pacemaker might be best for me, but I'm still learning about all this. Your message shed some new light for me. Ty!

ICD: Implanted Cardiac Defibrillator.
Some get ICD alone, some get pacemaker alone, and some get what they call a dual device. I have a dual device.
As I write this at 3:30 a.m. I am in VTAC. The only reason not being shocked is the Amiodarone is keeping my heart rate down below the shocking threshold.
