Breathless with Pacemaker

I have RVDR01 Revo MRI SureScan since 2011 after a 3rd degree AV block.

Currently I am suffering from a severe lack of energy and breathlessness when I walk or do anything more than sit.  Is it possible to have another AV block (2nd degree perhaps)?

Only one heart block to a customer

"Heart block" refers to the absence of electrical conduction from the atria to the ventricles. "Third degree" means that the block is complete (same as "complete heart block"). "Second degree" is one of a number of partial blocks. If it's complete,  it can't be partial, too.

You obviously have something else going on  so you need to see your EP as soon as possible. It could be a bad lead or heart failure. It is important to get this looked into ASAP.

See your doctor

Regardleaa of whether it's possible to have 2nd degree heart block, when you already have 3rd, if you're having symptoms that make you think you could have heart block, it's time for a visit with your EP.

I have had my pacer since 2005. At first it ruled my life. It took some time to calm down and make the mental adjustment. I had trouble sleeping and I worried a lot about pulling wires. Now I just live my life as I wish.
