@jimgrupe Do you receive care at a COE (Center of Excellence)? Places such as those are known for good coverage and good communication among personnel. I do not go to one; there are none around where I live. At various times I see different professional staff at my cardiologist's office. When I have my appointment, I am amazed at how much someone (other cardiologists and PAs) I have never seen before seems to know all about my heart history. You deserve the best care possible.

@walkinggirl I *just* sent a message the the surgeon and to the vacationing cardiologist's office. BP is still peaking at 130 if I'm lucky, and under 120/70 when at rest. Makes me feel fatigues and dizzy all the time, and out of breath if I do *anything*. I'm hesitant to quit the Nebivolol altogether, but that seems like it might be the solution. No beta blocker, and take some Losartan if needed to control BP. I don't know enough about the workings of the Medtronic Micra-AV2 pacemaker to know how its adjustments might be affecting my BP.

@walkinggirl No COE. I mostly use Advent Health, though my PCP is not associated.
