Poor girl: getting tested to death. Big Phama/Medical will test you until your insurance is used up. I suggest that if she is asymptomatic she should avoid them. Eventually they'll overtreat some minor anomaly then have to treat the problems that their testing and "solution" cause. The number 4 killer in America is the medical profession.

Fantastic. Thank you so much.

She is SMART & PRETTY.

Get off Lisinopril.

Thank you Matt for sharing.

Thank you very much for a thorough and articulate answer. I appreciate this clip very much. 🙏

Thank you for this information, It has helped me so much today. After my cardiac arrest 5 months ago, and my surgery to put my ICD. I have been pretty good without symptoms of any kind, completely released from my Drs. With the reassurance that my heart is completely healthy, no scar tissue, no blockage, no damage of any type what so ever to my heart tissue. Etc. well, my palpitations came back these past two days and I wasn’t prepared to deal with the PTS. This program and your channel is great. I have so many questions. Wish I could contact you. Thank you for what you do.

Great clip! I really don't think my EP should have implanted this icd. I really don't think that I'm at great risk and, unfortunately, I've lost trust in my EP and the the cardiologist who sent me to her. (I'm no longer buying what they're telling me.) This is a great clip! Thank you so much!

Thank you for addressing the complexity of needs that require a transdisciplinary approach following SCA. Had a full vfib arrest (no notice), and ICD placed almost 2 years ago. Would still be glued to the couch without cardiac rehab, physical therapy and EMDR...and family support. Hang in there fellow survivors!❤

It's a great topic, and very relevant to me and a lot of others. I had a VT episode and was defibbed. Few days later ICD was implanted. Felt pretty good. Then while recovering had a SVT while doing mild/moderate exercise. ICD fired twice. Been sedentary since, lots of anxiety if my HR gets over 110. Appt to discuss an ablation with the doctor soon, but the anxiety about getting shocked weighs heavy on me all the time.

If you want to learn more about mental care for ICD carriers and cardiac arrest survivors, be sure to check out the full Q&A episode with Dr. Sears, available here: ua-cam.com/video/UPTq1zEWXWE/v-deo.htmlsi=imk9w7ccSvN3Rwc5

A truly humbling & honest podcast from you both. We are all walking a path we never knew we would be on & it’s hard. Thank you for sharing this. Happy wedding wishes Grant! ☺️

I really enjoyed doing this. It felt good to talk about my experience. I hope someone can get something from the discussion. Love this project and the work Jellis has put into it.

No thank you. I had a very small chance of having a stroke during an ablation and I ended up having 3 of them. I've been shocked by a high powered cow fence in the late 70's... Knocked the wind out of me and threw me about 5 feet. Serious fear of electrical shock. And my anxiety about when it's gonna crack me would be off the charts. I also know two people personally who have them and from what they told me, there's no way

If one has heart rate issues, especially if it stays over 100, beta blockers will save your life.

I just got an ICD implanted 8/19/24. These videos are very helpful to me as I recover from my surgery as it helps me know what to expect and answers a lot of the questions that you just don’t think to ask before the surgery or are afraid to ask. Thank you for your channel and the work you do on here. I really appreciate you.

I messed around and got one but it seems like now walking from my room to the front do all of a sudden my heart rate goes from 86-105 just walking to stand at the front door when that was never the case before.😳😩 I just don't want to be a lab rat on something that's not right yet. I truly have anxiety over this😒 I want it out already…

Oh hell no ... They wanna put one in.... not gonna happen

I have an ICD for 2 years now. .Off course I am older, so it is a bit easier to except how it influences my looks. But at 52 my thoughts were: I am (a bit) proud of my scar. Because it shows I had to go through some tough times, and still are...So why shame about it? People are lucking not needing one. And otherwise there are lots of people with different diseases. So dr. Samuel Is right!! I guess he learned it by listening to his patients.

What's the warranty period of Medtronic icd MRI S? Is the patient given a warranty document for the device upon implantation?

Another brilliant episode Jellis! I do feel that the mental impact of living with a heart condition and/or an ICD is so often overlooked. Dr Sears is right….“If you’ve worked on the heart, you’ve worked on the mind”. Never a truer word spoken. Some great coping techniques discussed, and some very thought provoking points made.

My ICD was installed on 2021 due to I went into code blue in the hospital. I received strong shocks...the last one was so f,*** hard it knocked me down and I was like imbalance..then on March of this year , I started to have chest pains, shortens of breath, dizziness and ended up in the hospital Afterwards, I had no control of fainting spells, dizzy spells, shortens of breath. It is so depressing, because you don't know again if you are going to be shocked. The medications were adjusted, and slowly but still going through the fainting spells that comes and unpredictably. Dizzy spells is slowly balancing. Cardiologist had a serious talk about my health challenges. I would need a heart transplant. The constant shocking of the defibrillator causes your heart to get scared and that's is not good. One day at the time..that's all I can do.

I had a heart attack with 3 arteries blocked at 100% including the LAD. I died in my sleep, and when my wife woke up she heard the death growl and I stiffened up. They did CPR and my 5 year old was screaming and said "Jesus don't take my daddy". I coded 7 times, and they pronounced my time of death. I had a lactic acid level of 13. They put me on ECMO and empella devices while I was still laying there with the blockages. I was too sick to have stents, as my platelet levels were at 9. Dr's said even if I survived, I'd need 24 hr care forever. Then they discovered a brain bleed from all my blood thinners. One thing after another went wrong. 2 months in the hospital total including rehab. I got my stents, brain bleed stopped without surgery, beat every odd including no oxygen to my brain for 15 minutes, went back to work 2 weeks after discharge. No complications, no restrictions, healthy 46 year old 😊😊 P. S. Every Dr said I was beyond a miracle. They wrote 'miracle Mike' on my charts and said it was "unprecedented" that I'm alive. I've done fundraising for the hospital, my story attracts many large donors. This was the Lord at work, as I'm a born again believer, He had me in his hands listening to the prayers of my Godly wife.

Very informative. I love understanding everything I can about living with my ICD.

My husband had a cardiac arrest two months ago , after cpr he went to coma for a week , when he woke up he totally lost his memory 😭 is it possible for him to remember again 😭🙏 btw he was also being treated by therapy ,please tell me

Consider also if someone of you had the COVID shot. It depends on the batch if someone will have heart problems or not.

Hope you are doing well. You are one of the few open heart surgery patients that I have heard even referred to the first few days after surgery. It was pretty descriptive though what you said it was like being a lobster cracked open. What is glaringly obvious to me is that I’m not sure I’ve ever heard any patient, really talk about how bad the first few days are. I understand that sometimes in the fog plenty of painkillers. It is the thought of dealing with that recovery that would make me think long and hard about submitting to open-heart surgery. Well, maybe not long since that is usually a fairly acute situation. Stay well all. Cheers

2 great guys doing God’s work. Happy wedding wishes.

Recently learned that these devices are somewhat adjustable. Does anyone know if they can detect and interpret that a patient has actually become unconscious? Because I would only submit to a device like this if it had that capability. Stay well all

I was not aware of the different settings possible. Is it possible to set the level at a point where it would ONLY deliver the dreaded zappage is your heart actually stopped? Or more accurately if it could be set to only jolt if the patient is already unconscious? That is the only way I would accept one. Stay well all. Cheers

A pacemaker? I might agree to. An implantable conversion device? As of now at my advanced age, I’ll pass on living with the moment to moment stress of possible zappage. Stay well all.

My question is, I use electric hair clippers, or did before I had my ICD installed 7-17-2024, I was wondering if it would cause a shock if I was cutting my hair or someone else's if they had an ICD? I have not been able to find a answer for that. Thanks.

Thank you for these videos! Any comments or advice on the Medtronic recalls on ICDs and CRTDs?

In this short clip from the full Q&A episode of The Heart Warrior Project podcast, I invited board-certified cardiologist Dr. George Adesina. Dr. Adesina and I, Jellis, a cardiac arrest survivor, discuss why there is such a lack of awareness around heart disease compared to cancer, despite heart disease being the number one killer for both men and women globally. If you are interested in listening to the full Q&A episode with Dr. Adesina, where various cardiac arrest survivors sent in questions for me to ask him, you can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/Fg4FbycZVJo/v-deo.htmlsi=npMfrASXDWWFu1Lf ____ 🧡Get Involved - Support The Heart Warrior Project🧡 Note that The Heart Warrior Project is run by one guy, which is yes, me (Jellis Vaes).

I’ll pass…. On ICD implementation

30 minutes ago. I experienced the first and also second shock in just 10 seconds. I did tell to my doctor that I will run next week he said dont worry no one have reached the 180 beats per minute and yes. I ran and suddenly felt like a car from behind hit me and I turn back . No one behind and that was the ICD which shocked me because it thought that my bit rate is high Im sad cause I thought the ICD will know the situation and high rate is because of the runing not anything else.

why do these doctors think that living outweighs everything? including being able to think! what is the quality of life here? when does that get addressed? 7/16/24

No thanks, dont care. Unless they talk about transplant prior to its installment, and inappropriate shock? sure, driving down the road, nice! Nope, I ditched this program after all the testing, and then when i saw the next doctor, he said to me " i see you cancelled this proceedure, well it shows hear your borderline , anyways" How many guinea pigs are out there? And really, is this world some wonderful to be living in ? I like the idea of getting out of this twilight zone existence. 7/16/24

I learned a little more about the ICD, just some of the same questions I had that were answered, thank you.

I had a SCA late february 2024. Im still struggling with mental fatigue. My occupational therapist say it's like a state of stress. I love my devices, so she want's me to reduce my screentime big time (technostress). Still sick from work and it's getting frustrating.

Thank-you so much for your thorough answers and your reassuring outlook. It was endlessly helpful!

I’ve had an ICD since 1993, and it’s fired many times. The last was three times in one day (January 2024). I know it’s coming because of how I feel five seconds before it fires. It’s five seconds of intense panic. A powerful punch in the chest, and a recovery period as you process what just happened. Shocks are awful but they keep me alive until I get a heart transplant.
