I am in a funk…I went to have my pacemaker device check to see why I’m getting so dizzy. Results were concerning. I’m pacing 92 % in top chambers and more concerning I’m pacing 98% in bottom chamber. ( what that means is that in one minute my heart is only beating 2xs on its own in lower chambers) Drs are very concerned about this because pacing too high in lower chambers causes heart damage. They adjusted it and my pacing would go down to 70% but within a minute it would return to original numbers. They tried several different adjustments and same results..they even FaceTimed with device reps to rectify issues but same results..End results were that I have to return in one month and they will have a rep from device company there to see what can be done. I also need to see my cardiologist to see if indeed there is heart damage beyond the electrical part. I’ll be doing lots of tests it seems…As I finished testing I felt very dizzy. Before I got up I asked technician if the testing would cause me to be so dizzy. She said nothing she did should cause dizziness. They took my blood pressure and it was 81/53. They gave me water and had me stand. She took bp again and it went up to 91/65. Better but still low.
I feel frustrated as I take care of my body, I eat good foods ( except I had cheese pizza yesterday..)and exercise regularly. I feel betrayed by my body, if that makes sense…Fitness is such a big part of my life. The Dr recommended that I not lift weights for a few days. I complied and just walked 2 miles everyday. I can return to bodypump on Monday. I still say, getting old sucks!💜

I am at same weight …no change there which is ok. I went to nutritionist and all measurements were the same except for waist. I was disappointed at the number.. It was 31” . My nutritionist said it could be elevated because I had corned beef the night before and it was really salty. She wasn’t to concerned and was pleased I was able to lose a pound while we were vacationing and that I was able to be so active.I am back to working out at the gym and feeling pretty good. I have Dr appt. today for device check on my pacemaker. I’m still feeling a bit dizzy but not as severe as before. Usually happens when getting up from a seated position. I have been taking blood pressure ( as requested by Dr) and so far it’s consistently been in the double digits. I have low bp so that isn’t unusual. I am alittle nervous about this Dr visit for some reason. Oh well…at least I’ll know what’s going on.

It’s rainy and was very windy yesterday here in Laughlin,Az…we had 55 mph winds…not good when you’re in a RV….😬
I got a call from my cardiac specialist yesterday…apparently there is an issue with my pacemaker…have to go in and have a device check. I told them I was out of town so they agreed that I could come in next Monday. I had a couple of issues with feeling faint after bodypump class about 10 days ago. I was going to put weights away and got super dizzy, to where I had to sit down for fear of passing out. Then the following day I got up from couch and felt very dizzy but not to point where I thought I might pass out. It also happened here once but not as severe. I have an app that I can log into that monitors my pacemaker. I logged the symptoms and sure enough when they checked my monitor on those days there was a blip…I imagine they will need to adjust my pm and hopefully that will fix the problem. 💜
