Hi Wally, your medical history is worth reading it several times ! . I want to be sure, if I understood everything properly. I'm a pacemaker recipien myself, but a different one. they implanted a two chamber-pacemaker (two electrodes, one in the right atrium and one in the right chamber/ventricel). I read that you got a ICD 2001, which was replaced by a CRT-ICD 2015 (to resynchronize the two chambers of your heart). my question is, how did they replace them? do you know that?

You have really gone through your share of symptoms and various drugs to remedy your condition. I have similar issues, although my ejection fraction was excellent, 60. I understand anything over 50 is good. All I know is that I have these three or so conditions, and they all seem to be electrical in nature, and like you no artery disease at this time. Since the drugs don't seem to be lowering my blood pressure, and my symptoms have continued, I'm not really sure what is next. And, like you have mentioned, sort of living out of yourself is not pleasant.
