The best answer I can give you is that it depends on your overall condition. For example, if you have a congenital heart defect that hasn't been completely repaired/couldn't be made "normal", that would be more likely to have complications than if you have a structurally normal heart with just an electrical problem (like if you had congenital heart block but nothing else wrong). As far as the pacemaker, I don't see why that would in itself be a problem as long as it's working properly and the battery isn't getting low. You should discuss this with your doctor to find out what the issues may or may not be in your particular situation. Hope this helps!
