You need to go back and see your cardiologist if that is happening. If you had SSS and had a duel chamber pacer put in, you should have seen a difference of night and day in the way you felt. You should be feeling SO MUCH better! Now having said that; the pacemaker settings have to probably be tweeked a bit for you. Go make an appointment.
Thank you, I have called and made an appointment as I stood up from my chair today and fell flat in the floor. He is going to get the readings off my pacemaker to see what is going on.
I agree - it's probably your pacemaker that isn't programmed right.
Note however - that your pacemaker only will work taking care of bradycardia. Your tachycardia events must be treated with beta blockers or other antiarrhythmic drugs. Though, with a pacemaker installed, medications may be used more aggressively, as there's no risk of bradycardia present.
From what I know, SSS is difficult to dx, and people are often put on high dosis beta blockers to stop tachycardia - while bradycardia is not taken into consideration and may considerably worsen with beta blockers.
Make an appointment with your doctor and discuss this through. It's probably your pacemaker that is incorrectly programmed - not increasing your heart rate as much as is should when it's physiologically needed.
