for a few months now I get out of breath slightly especially when I bend down to pick something up,also from time to time I sweat ,three months ago when i saw cardialagist,he did a sonogram of my heart and said all is fine.I see him in amonth, but I notice if I do something with lifting,I am slightly winded. Does this happen to others with pacemaker,I will call doctor tomorrow and tell him again about this issue. I have a Medtronic with two leads.since 2006.Please answer me I am so worried.ist

The experience of having a couple of lengths of wire fed into your heart muscle and an electronic 'box' tucked under the skin is not an insignificant event, but you will survive.
Bending over

Not too unusual especially as we get older. Bending puts pressure on the diaphragm which restricts the depth of our breath. Sometimes, I find I'm holding my breath when I lean over so I make it a point to breath a bit deeper. I don't think it has anything to do with the pacer.
