I received an implanted cardioverter defibrillator nearly 2 months ago. I needed this because of wide-complex tachycardias...sudden misfiring of electrical impulses, driving my heart rate to above 200 beats a minute, requiring emergency interventions. The ICD is working very well--and I hope the same will be true for you. I am so very grateful for this technology.

@amalfi1279 Hello! id experienced this, my Heart rhythm went down to 30 BPM, Fainted 5 times went ER n they went through my wrist to look into my heart n arteries n diagnosed me with Bradycardia wich is low Heart rhythm, due to a medication, this was May of this year. Dr. Mention possible Pacemaker n discontinued 1 of my BP Med n I did good until 2 was ago ths coming Saturday , that day I Fainted at work n was taken to ER, Wich my heart rhythm went down to Zero at hospital n they had 2paced a few times to bring me back, my Cardiologist showed up at ICU N told he was placing a Pacemaker next day, I felt great when I was at hospital. Once I left I started to experience anxiety n pounding of my chest, very scary! Saw my Cardiologist the following Thursday n told everything was healing well n that it was normal what I was feeling, this past Tuesday it got worse, called Dr's office n they told me to go to ER n I did. They did n EKG n monitor my Pacemaker n send data to the company that monitors Pacemakers, everything checked out good, there was not any cardio events wich gave a Great Peace of mind. ER Dr. Diagnosed me with PTSD n anxiety, he said it was normal cuz of the Trauma I experienced. Gonna see my Primary tomorrow to put me in a short possibly long term treatment n that makes me feel no been scare anymore, yesterday I experienced same symptoms n I was able to cope n control my anxiety. Looking forward for tomorrow to se my primary. So don't be afraid. My Heart rhythm surprisingly has gone up in the mid 70s wich has been Great News. Besides all of those 2 symptoms I feel great, energetic n very happy that my Cardiologist decided on the Pacemaker. Do it n Leave it in God's Hands everything would workout. I hope my experience gives you hope😊🙏
