I had pacemaker implant, 4-5 months ago for Brady sinus node dysfunction.
An Ablation 1 one month ago for paroxysmal Afib.
Went for my follow up last week
I had been laying low past month. I had fatigue episode and reported on my looprecorder app. EP on follow up looked at monitor said I had PACs , extra beat not to worry. I didn’t show Afib in the month and he took me off Flecainide, stay on Eliquis. he said I may get more of those PACs since not on F, continue monitoring. Told me I need to exercise, bring up my activity level.
I was able to do a silver sneaker chair/stand class yesterday. Then walked a few minutes after felt better , hit pickleball against wall a few minutes. Felt fine after.
But today at mid morning fatigue hit again. No other symptoms. I am hoping with exercise/ activity increase will reduce fatigue.
I am 66 yrs old tomorrow, 25 pounds overweight and need to push myself to exercise. Once I’m in group class I am encouraged. I’m also eating healthier, staying away from alcohol.
Happy to have found this nice support group 😊

@sjm46 - Thank you for the encouraging post. I've felt negative because of so many periods of health problems--lungs, kidneys, urethera, lichen planus... I've been hospitalized five times in the last year. Just now, for the first time since my procedure I got up the nerve to check my EKG. It shows "No abnormalities" with a heart rate of 75. Wonderful!!! I realize there may be hiccups yet to come but God is good so I'll wait and see.
