not feeling good after pacemaker

hi,
i just received my 3rd pacemaker 2 1/2 weeks ago. Since then I
have basically felt awful. I was used to working out 5-7 times a week and now not feeling good at all. I have had my setting adjusted at least 5 times to no avail. I have the new Boston Scientific device. My heart feels like it is beating in the center of my chest. No one can seem to figure out what is wrong if anything. I have complete heart block so I use my pacer all the time. Just can't figure out why Im feeling every little beat? Anyone have any suggestions????

If it's not your first one, this should have been super easy :( If you are feeling the beats it almost sounds like it's the output rather than the pacing settings. Did you get a new lead? That would be a reason to crank it up for a few weeks so it might feel different. Did they leave rate response turned on? I dunno, CHB should be an easy fix and usually the settings don't need much after you get them adjusted the first time. Maybe it's time to get a second opinion, have fresh eyes look at it. Hope you get it figured out!
