I go In tomorrow for mine to be placed after waiting for 8 months to have this done

Dan are you still with us?

I’ll pass

But what caused the shock? 6:45

They almost had me with this device, and when I went to see the doctor about it, he was all ready to go with installing, but, big question was the percentage for needing one, and the doctor didnt tell me this, he just said lets get it done, but i backed out last minute, and then found another doctor, whom after reading my bible, said that i was only border line and most likely would not need it. There are so many things about todays products that they are not being up front on, and we are basically the white mice of the lab. Im not interested in loosing my liscense or spinning around on the floor at some indescript time, be wary and carefull, also stay away from magnetic things.

HAD AN ICD FITTED ON THE 26 JUNE 2024 HAVENT BEEN HIT YET BUT WORRIED WHAT WILL HAPPEN, JUST A BIT FRIGHTENED.

How r u doing dan.. ❤ How's ur device working..

Did the shock hurt

Yeah Amiodarone. it is some nasty shit. Not recommended for long term use. Lung scarring. Thyroid issues. There have to be other options.

Dan, glad you're OK.. Not sure what your normal blood pressure but not all that surprised this happened on the toilet. This is a fairly intensive process on the body, also when you squat, go the bathroom (2) or even very deep breath it puts pressure on the vagus nerve. Vagus nerve is part of the parasympathetic nervous system so it will slow your heart, sometimes dramatically and that apparently triggered the device or triggered the problem that triggered the ICD.. - Definitely make sure your blood pressure stays in the normal range, you should check it daily. Helps to spot problems before they happen, but also that your medication is working right and not too little/much. - Be extra careful when going in to the shower or bath tub, that temperature shock can dramatically drop blood pressure, it's fairly common for people to get stroke from this. I once got a tachyarrhythmia from going in the shower. - also be careful getting up too fast, especially after sitting awhile.

Im getting ready to do everything you talked about

Thanks for your videos. This is the third one I watched. My heart doctor has referred me to a specialist because she thinks I need a pacemaker so these videos are interesting to me.

Dan, I noticed your last video is 5 years old. I hope you are doing OK. Farewell.

Does anyone know if Dan is still with us? His ICD video popped up on my channel I guess AI did that. I have some interest in learning about experiences with ICD implants. I really thought Dan did a good job in describing his experience with his ICD and thought I’d let him know how I liked his videos. But, it looks like he hasn’t been on you tube for a long while. So, I was looking around in KZbin to see if anybody had heard from him. Thanks Bill

The know at least we got one if not who knows

It felt like 220

Mine happened i was having sex

Try entesto

Same irregu heart beat

It took 5 years for my first shock

Thanks for your videos., Dan.I had an ICD put in recently and had a shock. I can relate to you , and thanks again.

Thanks for this video, I had an ICD put in in November 2023 and it helps to hear someone else's story.

That medicine is poison. My brother died from toxicity of that poison.

They are very dangerous devices in that the ICD EMF shielding is insufficient to protect the device from EMF manipulation... above 60Hz EMF. I found this out the hard way when the ICD produced extreme tachycardia which was life-threatening . I have started procedures to get it turned off.

Hope you’re still kickin man.

Hi Dan. Just came across your video tonight and I hope you’re doing well. I was implanted with my first ICD/Pacemaker back in 2004. I too have CHF. Since then I’ve had about 4-5 devices implanted as I’m almost totally dependant on my device. My EF is below 20% and now at the age of 67 I have the hard decision whether I want to go through for a heart transplant or not. I’m actually doing quite well considering. Of course I take a lot of meds, I’m retired and I still drive. I used to swim regularly but I’ve given that up and I ride my excessive bike, walk the treadmill or just go for walks with the Mrs. For. I will just stay the status quo and will worry about the transplant or even the LVAD when the time comes. Be well, take care! Marty from Canada

Got mine in 2018 for chronic afib I've gotten zapped 4 or 5 times first it happed when I plugged in a light

Syncope. Blood pressure drops. Tonight my icd gets interrogated to find out if it shocked me or I had a seizure. I clamped down so hard on my tongue I think my clitoris dropped.

I’m getting a ICD implant January 31st at Kishwaukee hospital in Sycamore. I appreciate your video and information.

Brilliant mate thanks from Australia, I'm hoping that you are going well, I'm having one fitted ina few weeks so here's hoping 😂❤

30 years old, third pacemaker, I think I just experienced my first shock. I almost called 911, my girlfriend is coming over right now as I’m writing this. It felt like lightning, I’m short of breath and I might go to the emergency room.

Where are those that have had a bad experience. This is BlS.

What about 51 continuous shocks? How would u like that?

I m really glad u survived. I haven’t had one minute of peace since my Defrillbulator malfunctioned. I had 51 shocks in less than 3 hrs because of a malfunctioning device. It is devastating. There is so much more to this and I feel ignored and unimportant with no answers.,how can those that work for St. jude tell me they don’t what will happen now that i have two.

Looking into having defib/pacemaker installed. I am a bit scared about all of it. Thank you for helping me to better know what to expect. Blessings to you!

😂😂 the fairys did an amazing job

Hey Brother how are you feeling Are you still taking arrhythmia medicine

I got 55.shocks on less than 3 hrs. I am not glad at all and I am scared to death because now I have two f them in me because they could not take the other one out. They did not give me any device on my nightstand and I had no idea after 23 years that it could malfunction. Not happy and I am petrified.

Does anyone know if Dan's still alive?

Enjoyed this video, I've been through similar procedures. How you doing now. I realise its been 5 long years

I had my first one implanted back in 2013 at 31 and now have my second one implanted.the shocks for me are strong.like an aggressive kick to the abdomen

5 min ago. f#$# is what came out of my mouth bright flash -> i want to say i saw this[eyes closed]

Any more episodes after 5 years?

I had mine 3 months when I apparently went in to AFIB with RVR causing my device to fire 8 times. 3 months later I was in AFIB RVR again and took 6 more shocks. Neither incident was considered life threatening but the device will fire if your HR exceeds the threshold set by your Doctor. They told me it would not fire until you are passed out. While that may be true in a real life threatening heart emergency, it is not true in other circumstances. I agree with others it is not like getting kicked by a horse. I am betting a horse kick is far far worse. It is more akin to someone ambushing you with a pretty hard slap on the back, while sticking your finger in a light socket, while at the same time in your mind you see a flash that is not there but feels very real. The first time mine went off I was standing, scanning a boarding pass at an airport. I thought a bomb went off. After realizing it is the ICD the second one hit, then I thought the battery was exploding...it wasn't. The biggest "shocking" and frightening factor, at least when it happens while conscious, is that is without warning and instantaneous...completely blindsiding. It is over in a millisecond. By the time you feel it and start to utter an F-Bomb it is over before you get to -ucckkkk...but it still comes out. 🙂 ADVICE IF IT GOES OFF WHILE CONSCIOUS: Acknowledge it is happening. You will be able to function between shocks so control the fear of the unknown. Remain calm and if possible, lie down, control your breathing to bring your heart rate down. Thankfully I can laugh about the incidents and that I was "riding the lightening" but it is still traumatic and can cause some PTSD. In the weeks following my second incident I was startled awake a few times thinking my device fired. It did not.

Art Bell is getting me into HAM Radio. Ive been listening to him since March 2023

Thanks for sharing. My ICD is 6 months old… and no shocks so far. Good to know that it wasn’t the “kicked by a horse” sensation! 👍

A great many HF Patients pas while on toilet.

I just had mine put in on the 30 of Oct and I'm still in recovery and I'm 26 years old

Are you still doing good? Hope so God bless!

I had my first shock 3 days ago. I have hypertrophic myocardiapathy
