Heart Rhythm Conditions – Welcome to the group
Welcome to the Heart Rhythm Conditions group on Mayo Clinic Connect.
Did you know that the average heart beats 100,000 times a day? Millions of people live with heart rhythm problems (heart arrhythmias) which occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate heartbeats don't work properly. Let's connect with each other; we can share stories and learn about coping with the challenges, and living well with abnormal heart rhythms. I invite you to follow the group. Simply click the +FOLLOW icon on the group landing page.
I'm Kanaaz (@kanaazpereira), and I'm the moderator of this group. When you post to this group, chances are you'll also be greeted by volunteer patient Mentors and fellow members. Learn more about Moderators and Mentors on Connect.
Let's chat. Why not start by introducing yourself?

Nancy (shortshot80) I don't know..... I have been on the Lung Cancer program with Colleen Director and Teresa. I have visited with those people since 2018 --2017 - 2018-2019 as much as I could be after treatments... Nancy

So good to hear from you again, Nancy! I was not aware that you had A-Fib, nor that you had a pacemaker. I'm glad to hear that is working well for you.
Did you have symptoms that required the second pacemaker?

Hi Teresa, I'm Nancy (shortshot80) Its been a while since I'v been here. Have been doing some radiation on my right side as it has been making me cough upf blood. Jan.22 I had radiation. Right now as I'm trying to type my little friend "abbi" is standing on my lap and leaning on my left arm. Kinda hard to type.
I have finished my book and my daughter has it to proof read. Soon for printing. Yea! Glad It's done. I've been doing sorta ok, this last year Jan 19**19 I fell and broke my hip. I'm finally getting around some without the walker. All kinds of medical stuff for the whole year. I'm glad it's done. Still have some of the medial but hopefully not as much for this year. Will get on here more now.... Nancy

I admire you. I am trying to organize to write a bottoms up book on the Hantivirus. Any suggestions on a publisher? I am a 90 yr old Korean aidman combat veteran. I called the New Mexico Heath Department, during their strange oubreak , and told them to look at the deer mouse for the carrier. They did and made the announcement 1 week later. I knew what it was from Korea 40 years earlier. Korea was Kidney and New Mexico is Respiratory.involements. This New World strain is more lethal. Others have written good capsules o the disease. But , I have tales no one can say but me. (Because they are all dead.) As soon as I get a printer, I will start what you went through .Ha ! My book will be who did what and when..untold stories but with eventual work on prevention. Any suggestions???( 0n outlining and foot notes and forward)
Hi! As a physical Therapist I specialized in Pelivc floor Re-education.What you need to re-learn is Biofeedback electrode training. Finding a speciaty qualified pelvic floor person..... Talk to your urologist first. He may be dumb about this training.. Google "The Biofeedback Certification Institute of America" in Colorado. They will give you a specialist in your area. Originally, this was strictly done by Pschologist before the Certification Program. A few of us made it so any field( psychology, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy,Educationn etc) could be certified. Their requirements are very strict. Do not be afraid for a male or female if They are Board Cetified or the Tech. is working under a board certified professionals. If done under a Physicians office, make sure he or she is qualified by a board also, or Medicare will refuse billing.. I took time to mention all this because it is a sensaitive issue. A good, well trained staff that meets the requirement of medicare otr private insurance is mandatory. Women have a short urethea of about 7 inches. Men are at 16' Child birth stretching or a weaken pelvic floor is therefore more common with women. Please follow my instructions. Unqualified offices could label you as a Symptom Magnifier" if sensative issues arose with billing or disputes. I helped to develop this area, so I know what you are going through and what you probablely need.Don't hesiate to contact me if you need any assistance. Again,I know what you are going through. bill54321
