Hi all,

Just joined this group and great to be here.

I'm coming up to 6months post implant now and currently having my settings tweaked with. I have my RR switched on and im on a beta blocker to keep my HR down. Was having problems with flat rate response, would always stick around my base rate of 80 now sown to 70. They upped my sensitivity which i didn't respond well to so they tweaked more. I'm yet to see how my HR has responded. Walking has become diffucult since last tweak with chest tightness, breatlrssness and heaviness in my legs. Im waiting to hear back from the hospital, which will be next week now.

I have been symptomatic since the PM, one being a cough that has become gradually worse especially after breathlessness which is worse after walking. Has anyone else have a cough after having their pacemaker? Oh its a dual PM.

Thank you for reading.
Kerry
