if you are experiancing shortness of breath, then you do need go and get it checked out. It could mean that your condition has changed a little, something could be wrong with a lead or any number of things. Is better safe then sorry.

You know your body. If something isn't feeling right to you then go directly to Dr - do not pas GO ! I have been dealing with SOB for awhile and it is getting better due to good pacemaker setting changes directed by EP!

I took your advice went to the pacemaker clinic they told be i have AF now and put me on asprin, beta blokers and warfarin so upset i cried my eyes out has anybody else had this i feel as if my heart if thumping so hard.
They also said if they dont workthey would put me asleep and shock so worried has anyone been through this problem
