Hi Peach414144-

My name is Sherry. I read your post and it intrigued me as I was recently diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism. I had my first pacemaker implanted due to severe bradycardia (heart rate of 38) back when I was 29 years old. I am now in 55 and going strong- relatively speaking. I am not sure about a pacemaker helping with A-fib secondary to hyperparathyroidism but thought we could share stories and perhaps help encourage one another. I work full-time as a 911 dispatcher and volunteer part-time as a paramedic. If I can help you in any way, please let me know. I am an open book and will gladly share my story if it will help you.

Blessings,
Sherry
