Pacemakers: the facts you should know - Online interview

[@-xyz-012]

Thank you for your informative video. My mother was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and an enlarged upper valve, she was told she needed a pacemaker in case the blood clots due to the enlarged valve opening, blood thinners, and heart medication to stop her heart from beating too fast, she has quickly declined ever since this was done. She has oedema in her feet, fluid gurgling in her throat and chest, feels a chocking feeling in her throat, feels weak, can’t bend over without a feeling of choking. I’ve taken her to drs as the heart rate medication info pack says these can be side effects of the medication, but they say the pacemaker is fine, it’s not the medication, and there’s nothing else that can be done. Any thoughts? Also, is coffee bad for someone of this description? And would 5G (we now also have 8G which is not mainstream knowledge) could this affect a pacemaker? I appreciate any information you could give, as to what we could possibly look into.
