See your doctor

Lots of things can cause balance problems.  You certainly don't want to hurt yourself, so highly recommend seeing your doctor as soon as possible.

PCP or family doctor

Are you talking about dizziness, lightheadness, or balance? Sometimes people use the words interchangeably, but they are different things.

Balance is like sea sickness, or like when you were a kid and would spin until you staggered and fell down. The pacemaker settings won't cause balance problems, but as Jimmy said, problems with balance can lead to falls and be serious. Suggest you see your family doctor.

My eight year old son had a pacemaker since he was 6 months old. He does very well, plays soccer, baseball, and rides his bike. I am so glad he is not ashamed of his pacemaker. He will proudly show his "battery" to anyone.
