S-ICD - Am I still able to exercise as normal without too many limitations?
I know having the other type of wired
ICD
would of possibly had a few movement restrictions due to the wiring through the vein but if anyone has any positive thoughts on movement and exercise with an S-
ICD
, I’d love to hear! Getting a bit worried about it now! Thank you! 😊

ICD AND DRIVING
Hi All, What's the score with driving with an
ICD
. I Have received conflicting advice. I believe you have to stop for 1 month after device fitting if
icd
fitted for precautionary reason or you had a ventricular arrhythmia without incapacity? I understand otherwise if shocked 6 month driving ban?

Hello all, I was first diagnosed with heart failure in November 2017, had an
ICD
fitted 6 months later. Last June I was taken into hospital with sepsis, I went into septic shock twice and almost died twice, they suspected that those nasty little critters were hiding in the
ICD
.

ICD Firing
I’ve recently (6 weeks ago) had a
icd
fitted for VT. I am also in stubborn AF. This was all very sudden. I’m a 46 year old who has been active and fit previously. Last Wednesday I was out for a light run, and the
ICD
fired as my AF triggered it.

ICD,s
My partner has recently been fitted with an
ICD
in rather a fast manner following a call to attend A& E when this Heart Loop Recorder noted a 10 second Ventricular Standstill. He was unaware of this until his heart monitor team called but down the line he was fitted with an
ICD
that day.

Guidance needed for decision making of implanting ICD
I have met few Cardiologists in India and I have got a mixed response in suggestion for an
ICD
Some says its Critical, and some says its my choice and I can choose not to have it I need some guidance into if I should get an
ICD
and will it be a wise decision?

travelling with an ICD
I haven’t flown since my
ICD
was implanted. Do security need any particular proof? I have my card with the device details but wondered if I need a letter from the hospital. I’m flying to Italy from Gatwick.

ICD implant
I have CPVT but just recently I have had a
ICD
implant because I was getting 7 second intermitting pauses in my heart rhythm. Does anyone else fell the little pulses? They don't hurt at all but make me aware of my heart rhythm. Do they eventually settle down. Thank you

How long for the intense pain of an ICD install to ease?
Had my
ICD
installation this morning. Oh my days, it feels like I have a spear through my shoulder ( or how I imagine that would feel anyway!) Consultant said worst pain lasts a week, please tell me he exaggerated, and it won't be too bad in a few days 🤔
