Pacemaker

At 85 years old I found my heartbeat irregular and eventually it sometimes dropped to around forty beats a minute. The Dr proposed a pacemaker and I had it inserted last week. The result has been amazing. Not only do I now have a steadily beating heart, but this has also got rid of many of the aches and pains that were making my life somewhat miserable. I had it inserted under a “local” and had only one night in hospital. If you have irregular heart beats run directly to your doctor.
