Heart scare

I had a my second pacemaker fitted a year ago. I'm feeling tired most days and I'm getting pressure down my arms and burning in my chest on exertion. I had a heart scan with contrast that came back normal. No blockage. So why the symptoms. Anyone else get this. I'm going to see my GP next week.

Hi I’ve had pericarditis since my pacemaker was fitted last year. Sounds like you have similar symptoms to what I’m experiencing. Rest and medicine I am hoping will improve mine over time. Any exertion I really feel the difference and can find myself in a lot of pain.
