Is the following true about a pacemaker?
- A pacemaker would eliminate the need for anti arrhythmia drugs like flecainide (used for afib)
- A pacemaker would resolve weird rhythms I have like Junctional and lbbb etc (I thought due to the use of higher dose of flecainide in the past just 50mg now)
- A pacemaker would aide in afib by always keeping the heart rate normal (speed and not erratic)
So if you are in afib with a pacemaker, do you still feel panicked? The atria are fast but the heart rate and cadence should be normal right? Seems it would feel better.

over a trans-Pacific flight though they might have a life-vest onboard modern airliners that might possibly keep things ticking until landing but not entirely sure about that.
