Chest feels weird sometimes when I ride in a car or walk fast

I recieved my pacemaker when I was seventeen, almost four years ago. When I first went back to school after being off for a week, I had to ride the bus to a college where I went half day for this program. On the way to the college my chest would feel weird and it would feel weird to breath, almost like I could breath clearer. I brought it up to my cardiologist and pacemaker specialist and they acted like it was nothing. I figured it was just the new pacemaker settling in still. Four years later and it still does the same thing when I ride in a car sometimes or when I'm walking particularly fast. I think it is the up and down motion that does it. Does anyone else experience this?

Chest feels weird

Yup bumpy road driving is worse...from what I've read it is your rate regulator thinking that you are exercising and upping your hr even though you aren't exercising.

You know you're wired when...

You have the perfect reason to show off your chest.

Since I got my pacemaker, I don't pass out anymore! That's a blessing in itself.
