Pacemaker
by chinaman89, May 29, 2009 02:44AM
born with heart disease in 1964 haveing had heart surgery ( congentional heart disease, crippled left vetrical) in 1965 twice + pacemaker ( due to heart rate dropped within 1 year from 72 rates to 38 rates without specific reason) since july 2001 i do need now NEW pacemaker and would like to know following:
- which newest model ( i hve got sinus problems and bracdicardia too, sorry my english not too good) is the BEST
- my life has had quite lot of ristrictions, will they get MORE by getting older?
- right now the pacemaker is pacing 98% of the day but still i get heart burn, short of breath and chest pain. why? suggestions?
- stress tests show, together with andiogram and fluid tests on ultrasound NO blockage whatsoever even my cholestoral is around 280 at the moment. how to lower down? i do eat mainly vegy, raw fish, no alcohol, no drugs, no smoke and have regular excercise three times a week for at least 2 hrs outside.
- cost of the newest models as due to born with heart disease i got NO insurance cover and need pay myself.
- what if my heart rate droppes further?! will pacemaker be able to still PUSH the heart to work no matter how low the natural heart rate is?!
- Risk of heart attack ( all my family members, grandfather, father, uncle, cousin, have died BEFORE 50 years of age due to heart attack without prior signs or symptoms) will be lower with pacemaker or......
thank u.
