Hi everybody,
Had a PM St. Jude's dual lead inserted in 2013. Have had long term issues with shortness of breath, feeling faint, generally feeling like I can't drag my body around. Always tired and break into sweats on very little exertion.
Hospitalised for a angiogram, with nil result, also had CT scan in case it was a lung problem also nil result. They are now saying it could be my meds (Noten) build up.

Has anybody had these problems?

Hi Marian
My dad is 80 he is on his 2nd st jude pm and he has all the same symptoms as you, he has recently had all blood tests a echocardiogram , pm checks etc and they have come to the conclusion that it is the afib causing the excessive tiredness, apparently this is common, just to ad he also had av node ablation, your not alone, it just seems to be this way, hope this helps with your worries

As for my pacemaker (almost 7 years old) I like to think of it in the terms of the old Timex commercial - takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
