I am back asking for more support and I know I am in the right place. I saw the electrophysiologist today. I have had a Medtronic Loop Recorder for almost 15 months. I didn't want it put in. I almost was able to say that I was right and I didn't need it but.... I had posted a couple of weeks ago that I had a syncopal episode and was hospitalized. Unfortunately the docs at the hospital where I was taken did not retrieve the data from the loop recorder. The just chalked it off to orthostatic blood pressure changes or "vasovagal syncope".
Turns out I had a 20 second pause in heart activity which caused me to pass out. I am scheduled for a pacemaker implant on Friday.
I know some of you have them and wanted to know what to expect. I mostly need hugs from some of you. I thought I had fixed the ticker when I had the mitral valve repair. Now this happens.
Thanks.
