CD>I have a Medtronics 7070 pacemaker implanted.  How often should I expect 
o
CD>have it tested?   I would also like to hear from anyone else wearing one.
I don't have a pacemaker - yet.  :)  But I am a nurse on a cardiac
unit, and we have many, many pacemaker patients.
You should have been given a booklet at the time of the procedure,
detailing the type of pacer you have and the kind of testing schedule
recommended.  There are so many types of units pacing the heart in
different ways, it's hard to give a universal schedule.  You should call
the doctor who implanted the pacer.  His nurse can likely look up the
information for you.
