I had my pacemaker put in about 2 yrs ago (passed out playing poker 2x) and I certainly don't worry about it. I'm convienced the pacemaker is really an advantge since now "hopefully" if my heart decides to slow down the pacemaker kicks in and keeps me level at 60BPM. Without the Pacemaker I could have passed out driving and injured / killed myself or others and now with it I feel confident that passing out due to slow heart rate won't happen and its one less thing for me to worry about. Actually I never worried about it before untill I passed out twice. BUT as we all know there are a lot of unknowns out there waiting for their turn at us, and as we get more mature new ones keep trying to get our attention! So if theres 1 Million things that can kill us the passmaker will reduce that number to 999,999 (unless the battery runs out but I purchased a 15 year warrenty).
