First check up post implant

Hi
I posted recently re some concerns I was having eg, breathless on exertion, light headed , tired and having hair loss. This has increased again since I have started back more active again. Now 6 weeks post implant. Was told I had SSS and have dual chamber pacemaker in plae.
Was told upper chamber pacing 99% of the time and lower very little.. Lower rate reduced down from 60 to 55 and more sensitive setting applied to response rate.
Spoke with Dr , He is unsure why I am now back with symptoms again. Going to have Stress Test tomorrow under his supervision to see if heart rate is increasing enough with exercise.
After that he is unclear what is causing me to be like this....Maybe more blood tests to see if other cause...
Very frustrating for me now....Anyone have any thoughts which might enlighten me...
Many Thanks....

I too have these reactions! Very frustrating! Get too tired too fast yet they (cardio & EP) insist Pacer settings are right for me. Had Echo stress test and they still insist all is fine! I, also, have SSS and dual chamber pacemaker. Had pacer placed 2 yrs ago.

I'm 35 and got my pacemaker a little over a year ago. It definitely is not a burden to me. In fact, I have more energy (which my husband enjoys), can do more things with my kids and have weight because of having the energy.
