heart rate

My heart rythm will not exceed 80 without my being ill. I feel awful when I exert myself. The doctor and pacer rep tweaked the rate response mechanism, but that hasn't helped. The last time I pushed myself (I lifted a little weight and pushed my rythmn up) I had little shocks for 10 hours after. Lying down and resting helps eventually. I am fine now. Any suggestions?

Hi.

You say that you feel "ill" when it goes over 80? Do you get dizzy? Nauseated? ???? Please explain ill and awful.

And do you have a pacemaker or a defib or a combo?

What is your upper limit set at?

Can you ask your doctor to set up up for a stress test so they can actually see what your heart is doing during activity/exercise. That might help answer some questions.
