I had a St Jude two lead PM implanted Feb 5 2014 because of BRADY and SSS. For the most part, the PM has made a significant difference, no head aches, on SOB, and only an occasional dizziness.. However, I have had three instances where I feel a lot like I did before the PM implant. The first such instance was after about a month. I went to the pacemaker clinic and the nurse did an interrogation and said things were fine. She said she made some minor adjustment, I don't know what, but the next day I felt better. This some thing happened after about two months. I saw the PM nurse again, and she made some minor adjustments, including lowering the voltage, and I started feeling better. However, here I go again. I have an on going headache and occasionally am light headed. This has been going on for three days. Prior to this present episode, I had started walking and keeping track of my total steps walked during the day. ( using a new pedometer I purchased - a Fitbit - would highly recommend). A couple of days I had reached approx 8000 steps (goal being 10,000). I don't know if this has any correlation or not to my current problems. Based on what I had read on this web site, I did obtain a written report of each of the two previous interrogations. My lower rate limit is 70 and Max tracking rate is 120. I am paced in the RA 93% of the time and the RV 86% of the time. Any ideas or suggestion would be welcome.
Thanks, Chase
