The pulmonologist heard an S3 gallop sound

I went to a pulmonologist in October, and he found that I had an S3 gallop (a rare extra heart sound that occurs soon after the normal two "lub-dub" heart sounds).

A pacemaker has made the difference

Had an ICD/Pacemaker implant done 11/13/2024. I feel like I have a new lease on life. Wow.
