Don't know how long you had it fit but usually after a while you will have a PM check and they then will adjust it

When I had it fitted, I was advised to contact the pacemaker clinic if I experienced any dizzy spells or nausea. Might be worth giving them a call and they will check you out. Best of luck with it all.

I have had a PM for 4 years, the doctors & nurses told me at the time i would feel so much better. That never happened. (my PM was fitted because of pauses) About the same time i was introduced to AF. Fast forward 4 years, it`s been my expericience that living with AF and not getting the required amount of oxygenated blood that the body requires, it is not likely that one would feel good. Having said that i don`t know how much you are in AF so it maybe that the PM requires an adjustment of some of your parameters. It maybe worth giving your doctor a call.
