Pacemaker clinic advice

I had a mechanical root replacement in April 2018. Post op complete heart block. Then I was admitted through a&e 2 1/2 weeks after leaving the hospital. I had ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation. I recently has my pacemaker adjusted but asked for it to be put back to what it was before the settings. They did this but i don't feel much difference and feel they haven't put it back to what it originally was and I was not feeling like this. What do I do? Its stressing me out. Any advice is welcome.

Sorry you're having problems. Ring your pacemaker clinic and explain the situation to them, hopefully they'll get you in so that they can check the settings. My clinic told me to ring them direct if I have any cause for concern. Hope you can get it sorted.Wendy

Thanks, I will call them Monday direct. It's frustrating as I thought they put it back to what it was before. They said they increased my bpm from 130 to 140 the first time, but they that's it. It feels like they did something else do I'll call them and see what they say. Thank you Wendy
