Hi y'all,
I'm nearly 8 mos post op from a "triple whammy" heart surgery. Unfortunately, my heart has settled into a bradycardia with my "normal" resting heart rate in the high 40's and my max exercise rate just under 100. When I sleep, the heart rate has dropped as low as 31 (measured by oximeter for sleep study).
I'm also hypothyroid and still looking for that optimal thyroid level, and use a VPAP machine (that's different from CPAP).
Does anyone else here have a pacemaker? Would love for you to share your eperience.
Thanks,
