Settings and issues

I have had my pacemaker since 2007 and have had adjustments made on occasion. I have a single lead pacer for sick sinus syndrome. During the warmer months I play a lot of sports, softball, field hockey etc. so they set my sensing to accomodate the activity. Two days ago I felt like I was going to pass out and my HR has been in the 120-140's. Today I had my PPM interrogated and the sensing was making my pacemaker think that when I walked I needed a higher increase so my rate would shoot up in the 120's. It hasn't happened all the time just once in a while. Wondering if anyone has had this issue..they changed the settings so hopefully it helps.

It is just over 10 years since a dual lead device was implanted for complete heart block. It has worked perfectly and I have traveled well near two million miles internationally since then.
