scheduled for pacemaker!

well went for my loop recorder reading today and was expecting to be told i have to wear a cpap machine (cant wear one at all)
2 cardiologist looked at the readings and told me pacemaker asap.
Ive been scheduled for the surgery early next week,
till then Im severely restricted in activities, including no driving or lifting till after ive recovered from the surgery.
the second cardiologist confirmed my suspicion of sick sinus syndrome

the loop recorder is far more precise and much better at recording heart function and transient arrythmia!
as ecg and holter monitors often do not catch transients unless they happen within the time frame they are attached to you.

and frankly Im glad something is being done about it, as Im tired of waiting and feeling weak all the time.
