Is it normal to be lightheaded and dizzy after having a pacemaker installed?

You may be having trouble with the pulse rate. If it is low, not enough blood is getting to the brain. It should be above 50+ beats per minute. Also check the amount of oxygen in the blood. If you are at home, a small pulse/oxy can be bought and will give you both. Of course, the blood pressure could be lower than you are use to. Check on:

  • oxygen saturation
  • pulse rate
  • blood pressure

to be sure that they are in the normal range and talk to the doctor.

What is the resting heart rate for a 14 year old female?

All I know is that average girls aged 12 would have a resting heart rate (RHR) of 80, and one of 14 would have a RHR of 85.

If it's higher then the average RHR (Per minute) then that would be bad. Lower would be good.

Although I am 14, and mine is 70, yet I'm not that athletic, I'm a fast runner, but that at the most.

What is the treatment for massive hemopericardium and cardiac tamponade?

Relieve the pressure off the heart by removing the excess fluid or blood.

This is performed either by pericardiocentesis, which is the procedure where a large needle is inserted into the pericardium and the blood/fluid is removed. If the cause is an injury to the heart itself, this may be enough of a temporizing measure (but definitely not curative) to allow the patient to have the time to make it to the operating room with a cardiac surgeon who can repair the injury. If the patient loses vital signs in the Emergency room and is not stable enough to go to the operating room (OR), an emergency thoracotomy may need to be performed. The left chest is opened emergently and the pericardium is entered primarily in an effort to find the damage to the heart and repair it temporarily to allow the patient to go to the OR for primary repair and closure.

Unfortunately, hemopericardium and tamponade caused by primary cardiac rupture/injury is not something most will survive, and emergency thoracotomy has a survival rate of less than 5 percent (probably on the order of 1 to 2 percent survival). It really is a last-ditch effort to save someone's life, but in most cases is not successful, despite a physician's best efforts.

No. The medical term for heart attack is myocardial infarction, or the death of heart myocardium (basically the heart muscle). Coronary Heart Disease (CAD) is a disease where plaques of cholesterol are deposited in the heart's coronary arteries (which feed the heart blood during diastole). Ruptures of these plaques can cause clots in may however result or cause myocardial infarctions, due to a sudden yet complete blockage of a coronary artery.
