I had an interesting experience where I was told I needed a pacemaker but when I went in for it they said my heart was not damaged at the 35% level required for Medicare to pay for it so they did not put one in. I strongly suggest before you go worried about the procedure you ask your doctor for a second opinion on who to ask if you get my drift. Pacemakers have been around for many decades now and save many lives while it is a medical procedure like many others there's always a small chance of difficulties it's far out ways not having one if your doctor wants you to have one. But keep in mind your age also has something to do with getting any elective surgery.
