Can symptoms reoccur after pacemaker implant?
Hello, I had an episode of scary weakness similar to ones I had frequently before pacemaker implant 4 months ago. I became very weak and felt like I could pass out. It was disturbing because I was watching my grandchildren in the beach. I recovered in about an hour but did not feel like myself for several hours. I have felt fine since. Has this happened to anyone?

@marybird Many, many people have reported that if it was not for their ICD, they would not be here. The immediate value of an ICD is like having your very own EMT with you 24/7. Of course, someone has to call 911 to get actual immediate emergency care. Meanwhile, the heart is shocked - hopefully to sinus rhythm. That's entirely different than remote monitor reports.
Yes, reports are sent via the monitor on my shelf (in my case). My electrophysiologist and my cardiologist both review them and I can immediately read the report on MyChart. Yes, the particular things you mention are flagged and of course, the proper people are notified. It's why we have these devices.
