Since I'm new to this group, I'm learning how to navigate this page. I'm not sure who I am responding to, but the person who is waiting 3 weeks to see someone at Mayo, I am a patient at Cleveland Clinic and they have been very quick to respond to any requests. They encourage patients to seek second opinions. The only advice I have, (which may be worth what you paid for it, nothing) is to seek out the internationally rated Cleveland Clinic.
My circumstances are sort of recent, though now I realize I've lived with symptoms for quite some time. I do have a left bundle branch block, with ejection fraction that was around 20%. Now I am "wired" and adjusting to the reality of what my hardware feels like. I go back to Cleveland for my first in-person device check next week, so I am making a list of questions. Thanks for responding......

Hi @sallygg1 If you hit the reply right under the person's comment and then use the @ symbol with there name like I did with you, it will not only alert the person you are responding to, but it will link to the comment you are responding to so others can see your reply. 🙂

Smart Girl, ask all the questions...when they check your device, they are checking if you have additional fluid either around your heart or lower extremities. They may or may not adjust anything with the device..they adjust the ryhmum of the pacemaker with your heart. They may lower or up the speed..you don't fell anything. They lay pads on your stomach, legs and chest.
On June 11th I had my 3rd implant and the doctor I selected was a specialist. He is with Riverside Hospital in Columbus Ohio, Dr. Amen and boy is he educated concerning the function of heart...
When your doing your research for a specialist look at their education, where they studied and who they studied under. You can get great information. I wanted a physician who specializes in A-FIB and I found him, DR. Amen. Good luck and don't give up! Your worth this life! With Gods Warm Blessings, Maddie
