Dear MedHelp:
Your site helped me so much and I am glad to write to you to tell you that I appreciate the work you do.
I started having slow heart rates. I went to several doctors who simply dismissed my bradycardia as due to stress, depression, anxiety and/or stomach problems.
I had found your website previously when my husband and sister had had some health problems, so I went back to the heart forum. I researched everything I could about bradycardia. I also began to post and the heart forum doctor "CRC" was the one who guided me through all the tests and explained to me about pacemakers.
I also found a person who had had similiar problems as me and through your site, we connected and have become great friends and support for each other.
I recently had a dual chamber pacemaker implanted and my friend was by my side for the whole experience!
So all in all, I was helped a tremendous amount by your site. I have yet to find a better forum anywhere!
