Pacemaker
January 15th, 2010
Question: My mother put a pacemaker. She has diabetes. Hypertension. After surgery, it took three weeks, and a stimulator works with changes in rhythm: a 42 strike, then 52, then 71, then again 43, though it was programmed to 70. Doctors say the device, the "knitting", then goes to work his heart. All waiting for something, doing nothing. Sugar jumps from 6,2-25, although she did not have one before the operation. We have managed to correct a little bit – 11,2. Pressure in the morning 145 (135) 80 (70), in the evening – 185 (190) 90. Show you with what it may be the reason?
Answer: Valentine, you have not written the main thing – mode pacemaker, it should be specified in the statement. I can only assume that these are the features of the regime, in which it is programmed, this issue must be discussed with the doctor who delivered him. To control sugar and blood pressure, simply choose an adequate therapy (insulin, 2 drugs against high blood pressure), direct connection with the implantation of the pacemaker is not here.
