January 2024 I was diagnosed with partial heart block or Mobitz ll. I didn’t know what that meant or what that would entail. I had my first appointment with the Cardiologist on February 1st, where he confirmed the diagnosis and we came up with our plan, and learning that the end result would be needing a pacemaker. We quickly got me scheduled for a stress test and another heart monitor-this would be the second, among other tests. On February 2nd I went in for the stress test and to get the second heart monitor. Within 4 short hours of wearing the monitor it had picked up on another block on this time is was a complete block. My Cardiologist was calling and telling me I was being direct admitted to the hospital where I would spend the weekend under observation and finishing testing.
On February 5th, I went in and had my pacemaker placed.
