pacemaker can only correct the blackouts which is caused by av block,, it cannot reduce your breathlessness,, it only gives your heart protection from low heart beat

Sorry to hear of your problems.  I do not know the what exercise can be done when on a pacemaker, but it sounds like you are still running on your own timing if you are able to exercise in an aerobic way (you didn't state that).  I also understand a pacemaker would treat AFib only if your had a full shut-down and are are operating under full-time pacemaker timing.  I could be wrong on this point, I am not a pacemaker patient myself.

What has you doctor said about your symptoms?
