Dual chamber by half

Dual chamber by half

I have had a dual chamber pacer since I was 25. I'm 54 now. Six months ago, my new cardiologist shut off the ventricular side because the leads eroded & was no longer pacing to my heart. Since that event, I have recurring episodes of feeling a strain (tightness) after any type of activity. Sometimes, labored breathing. A recent stress test showed no abnormalities. Nevertheless, I'm always uncomfortable however my cardiologist insists it's my imagination. What can I do?

The best advise that i can give you is to post on the Heart Rhythm site...the hot topic on that site and i go there alot is comments and issues with pacers.......i think that you will find what you are looking for there....they have a super active community and i would bet that someone will post that has gone thru the exact same thing....good luck
