I did finally find steady work this year in April, and am grateful for that, however I am having trouble sleeping at night. I have a pacemaker, which was inserted around September of last year, and my question is to anyone experiencing similar issues. I wake up every night around 2:00 am. Whether I go to sleep at 9 or 11 it doesn't matter. I wake up and can't get back to sleep. This started after I took on my new job, but only fairly recently (within the past two months or so).
Stress? Yes. Unbearable? No. In fact, once I'm at work it's really a breeze.
I saw my electrophysiologist recently and they adjusted the overnight threshold down to 50 beats per minute rather than 60, but I'm wondering if those having pacemakers have similar issues sleeping through the night. I know it may be age related also, but I never had problems sleeping before.
