Good evening, after seeing your post that you have a pacemaker and defibrillator you got my attention. I just need to talk to someone. I have both as well, a couple weeks ago my defibrillator went off 5 times while I was taking a shower. I stayed a week in the hospital on blood thinners and waiting on an ablation for afib. Since this incident I have been very depressed and full of anxiety, so bad that I have thought about having the shocking function cut off. I am so full of anxiety I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do you have any help advise.
Thanks for your input. The pain is in my shoulder and left arm. There is no relation to the total knee replacement (TKR). I do have follow up from my electrophysiologist and have a home monitor, which is checked automatically. I have regular follow up appointments. Regards, Pat
