crossing my arms

I had my third pacemaker implant April 2013. The first two I had no complications at all. Since I have had this one I am more fatigued and when I do things like sweeping, bathing, washing delicate clothes in the sink etc, anything that I cross my arms I get short of breath and feel fluttering. Sweeping with a broom is the worse, I just cannot do it. My telephone check are normal but this problem will not go away. Has anyone had this problem? Thank You

Might not be the pacemaker

This doesn't sound like something a pacemaker would cause but I would schedule a check in person to get it looked at, if your pacemaker dependent, maybe one of the wires is starting to fail and the crossing of your arms aggravates it and it stops pacing. Just a guess.

Thank you for your reply, I know it does seem odd so I did call in for a earlier appointment.

A pacemaker completely solved my problem. In fact, it was implanted just 7 weeks ago and I ran a race today, placed first in my age group.
