Living with a pacemaker after AV Node Ablation

I'm wondering about what others might be or have experienced with being fully on a pacemaker after AV Node Ablation. I've had several adjustments to the Rate Response settings this last year, but still find that not much movement or activity on my part makes me feel like my heart is racing and I'm out of breath like I've been running. Thanks

I too have a pacemaker with an av node ablation. I was getting very breathless until they checked and saw that I am in AF 100% of the time so needed one lead switched off and pm reprogrammed.
