I wore a heart monitor for 24 hours. It showed that there were pauses for up to 3 seconds in my heartbeat. My cardiologist said I needed a pacemaker.
My question is: Is 3 seconds a long time for pauses? I have been lightheaded, but haven't passed out yet. How many seconds have to pass before it is considered life threatening? At what point do you pass out? After 4 or 5 seconds of a pause, or more? Could someone help me with this? I really would like to know.
