Heart pauses

Hello I am 41 years old and due to get a pacemaker at the end of this month. I have been have 3-5 second pauses multiple times a day about 3 to 4 times a month. I had been having symptoms were I would get dizzy and almost pass out. For years I was told I was having panic attacks. After being persistent that is was something else and wearing an event monitor for 30 days I discovered the pauses. I feel like I am young and just wondering if the pacemaker is the way to go?

Has your consultant said anything about your situation with the DVLA and your motor insurance policy if you decide to defer your pacemaker?
