I had a Medtronic Pacemaker-Defibrillator implanted in 2017. Recently, I experienced shortness of breath when I attempted to do different everyday things i.e. walking, going to the store, etc. I called your office and was connected with Jami Farmer. I told her of my complications and asked if anything could be done. Jami suggested that I come to the office and meet with her and the Medtronic Pacemaker-Defibrillator Technician to see what could be done.
I did and found that my heart rate was set at 30 beats per minute on the low side and the reason became evident to me that I had numerous showings of PVCs which interfered with my normal heartbeat. Jami conferred and they raised my 30 beats to 47 beats. I felt an immediate change to my general health! By raising my heartbeat, my heart PVCs went from 958.4 per hour to 17.1 per hour and as of my last appointment, my PVC was reduced further to 3.1 per hour! My heart beat at the lower end became 80 beats!
Your office staff in general displays in a very special way, everyone knows what they are doing, but I wanted to bring this "special" visit to your attention.
