Hello! Im new to this site. Im 34 and have a pm and had it implanted in 2012..i have constant dizziness, pressure in my head and severe lightheadedness even with simple workouts..i need info...i cant breath well. I get to a point of feeling unconscious. Should i be worried? Anyone else feel these symptoms? Its making me feel weak, sick and drained..

I have same symptoms, I find walking the worst. I'm waiting to see cardio Dr in August. I find beta blockers help so much, I have a GTN spray that helps with breathlessness, chest, arm, jaw pain when I walk. Hope you get to the bottom of it soon. When I had my pm first fitted year ago I though I would be "normal" again. Ha what a joke! Have you had all your settings tweaked? Sometimes that helps. Make sure you speak up for yourself and make all the fuss you need to.
Good luck and hope you get to the bottom of it all soon.
Take care

I wouldn't be worried, but something is going on and it should be checked out before you try it again. Sometimes it's as simple as adjusting the settings. Does your rate go up when you exercise? Sounds like maybe it's not.

I have a well tuned pacer. I hardly know I have it. I am 76 year old, hike and camp alone in the desert. I have more energy than I have had in a long time. The only problem is my wife wants to have a knob installed so she can turn the pacer down.
