@1wife Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a forum where you can meet others with similar health issues. It is not a place to get professional medical care. We share our experiences and information. Please identify acronyms (SSS is sick sinus syndrome, I had to look it up), many of us are unfamiliar with the endless number of acronyms in cardiology (and in life). Between those acronyms and all those alike-sounding medications and procedures, doctors need the most excellent ability to remember all of it!

While others responding to your post have made suggestions, medical questions should be directed to your professional care givers.

I have an ICD to regulate an electrical problem that resulted in arrythmias after a septal myectomy, it solved the problem and I am grateful!

You are looking for good questions to ask when you accompany your husband to his next appointment. Here is a link that you both can read and discuss, I am hoping it will help you generate questions along with those stemming from the other comments on your post. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sick-sinus-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20377554.

Your husband is probably looking forward to hiking and biking again! We have trouble remembering that this is the Art of Medicine, our individual differences prevent it from being an exact science. Is he aligned with a facility that is known for excellent heart care? When is your second opinion appointment?
