My old man (70) is a very keen off cyclist. Rides with the best of them and can easily do 30+ miles rides.
Recently he’s been complaining of feeing very tired in the extremeties and feeling out of breath. He had this before and it was viral and went away.
Today, he went to the docs and had a ECG. The pissy news is that “control node” or something like that is not working and is keeping the heart rate at 30bpm 🙁 he’s normally 60 resting. He has just been taken off in an ambulance to Southmead, Bristol.
The likely hood is that a pacemaker is on the cards 🙁 He’s never going to give up cycling (in he can help it).
Any advice from people here with a pacemaker or know of cycling buddies that have a pacemaker and how they live with it or what to look out for?.
Any advice greatly received.
