Dizziness.... Pacemaker

Hi,
Got my installation a month ago...bradycardia.
In last couple of days have had couple of dizzy spells...very lightheaded..which disappear shortly after.
Am athletic in good shape.
Just started full swing golf shots in last few days. Some discomfort on backswing nothing serious.
Observations welcome

A full golf swing after just a month may be pushing it ! Most people build up to a full swing and take 6 to 8 weeks minimum.

If you have discomfort, don't do it in my view.

Yesterday was 6 weeks for me and I got the go ahead to start chipping and putting but was told to wait until 3 months ( late November) before doing full swing.

Was told after just having leads replaced to wait 3 months.

You would stop pacing and revert back to your symptoms pre PM.

I echo what has already been said. If you dislodge one of those leads your going to be really upset with yourself for not waiting a little longer.

Leads

How do you know if leads are dislodged? Don't think mine are. My cardio guy a golfer...Also think I might have been dehydrated
