Feeling weaker than usual and like fainting

Ever since getting pacemaker 1  1/2 years ago, my heart has felt 'weak' on and off, i.e. a sinking feeling in my chest when heart beats and my feeling like fainting. Blood pressure is a little lower than than before PM was inserted (used to be about 115 and now about 95). Faint feeling is worst after light exercise. PM clinic and emergency say I'm OK; I don't think I am. Is it normal to feel faintish after getting a PM? The day after having the seasonal flu vaccine I felt extra bad, like my body was not up to par as in previous years; still have to see my doctor about that.

Actually it was 3 months ago, not 1  1/2 years ago. That shows the state of my mind since getting the PM lol.

I believe you should get a copy of you device report and learn as much as you can about it.
