I think there has been a huge mistake. I'm 57 y/o female, good weight (bmi 20), good health except I have ALWAYS had a very low resting heart rate and b/p (35 bpm, 95/54 in early morning & sleeping). I fainted at home a few weeks ago (I think from dehydration) and my husband called 911. My 1st clear memory is ICU 3 days later with a doctor saying sign a consent for a pacemaker or I could die. Obviously, I signed. A week later, I had emergency surgery for a dropped heart lead. I now have chronic shortness of breath, chest pain and can't even laugh without gasping. I truly think I don't need this thing in my chest. Is there an agreed procedure for proving it (like turning the damned thing off)? There is NO cardiac history in either my or my family's history. Thanks.
