A member asked:
I am 44, and suffer from frequent dizziness and have fainted a couple of times (bbb). just looking at pros and cons to a pacemaker due to my age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pacemaker: The prescence of a bbb is not an indication for a pacemaker . What needs to be established is whether the dizziness and fainting us due to advanced degrees of heart block . You need long term (21day) monitoring to see if that's the case.
