Congrats on the pacemaker.

Several things before we continue. Why did you get it? sinus bradycardia? Heart block-1, 2 or 3rd degree?

Are you dependent or is it a backup for vasovagal syncope?

Was it planned or did you get it after er admit?

Do you really need it? Youd be suprised how many dont.

What make-brand? Is the sensor on or off? Lower rate and upper rate?

What terrain do you ride? Moto, enduro,

Ok. Wait 3 months to do anything like golf, moto, etc. You need to let the leads settle and embed into tissue so you dont dislodge them, screw in or passive. Doesnt matter. You dont want to have to reposition them, as infection rates rise when going back. Next, pacemakers have sensors that help regulate rate via motion, breathing rate, physiologic algorithm, etc. When you ride, its bumpy which will shoot the rate to the max until you stop riding then drop slowly. The upper rate has to be high enough to support your physiologic need as well as the gain needs to be low enough to not go crazy at the first movement. It will automatically adjust gain as time goes.

As far as crashing and damaging, dont worry. They're titanium sealed and at the peck where muscle will absorb cushion as well.

You'll become a good friend with your local pacer rep if you ride alot. Make sure he or she knows what they're doing when adjusting.

Consult your doctor, tell him what stress mx puts on your heart.

One of the fastest guys in our club has a pace maker. I swear he just dials it up when he wants to go faster. He's had it ever since I've known him (10+ years).
