Since I began having shortness of breath two years ago it seems neither the cardiologist nor the pulmonologist can say why. I keep getting volleyed back and forth between them. Had a PM for bradycardia in 2011 but no other heart problems. Have mild asthma. Went for pulmonary rehab. Am overweight. Anyone find themselves in similar position?

What caused the bradycardia? Brady is just a slow hr, more of a symptom than a diagnosis.

Did the sob start with the implant? It could be the asthma or weight, but if it started right after the surgery that sounds like pm settings. Have you been to an ep instead of a regular cardiologist? They can be better about fine tuning the settings.

Have they had you on a treadmill while also on the pm computer to watch how you pace on exertion?

A thirty-day guarantee is not good enough.
