It's Valentine's week — and what better time to talk about a broken heart? Specifically, MINE.
After months of trying to figure out why my heart rate was slowing down, I finally learned the real cause wasn't medication… it was a heart rhythm issue that required a pacemaker.
Yes, I now officially have advanced bionics.
In this episode, I talk about:
Discovering bradycardia and heart rhythm problems
Meeting the third cardiologist who finally listened
The decision to get a pacemaker
Facing my fear of anesthesia
What it feels like to come out the other side
SPOILER ALERT: I didn't die. Which means I'll be back next week.
