Medtronic technician checked settings and after discussion regarding new pacer settings were set slightly lower than old pacer settings + symptoms + aims + battery life expectancy - we actually settled on adjusting setting slightly lower rather than higher - strangely this can have the desired effect! Inpiedence was fine, pulse frequency was 2 on/3 off now 1 on/4 off (may aid bloating) and voltage strength was decreased to 2.6.
Instructions are as standard allow time to assess new setting success if no improvement in few weeks call to make another adjustment appointment and a 6 month appointment to see consultant surgeon.
Was advised I can now ease myself gently back into normal manual duties - just don't go mad!
