if your chest and neck are swelling and turning colors why are you here talking to us. Get to urgent care
Urgent care, hell!

So, my advice is to go about your daily routine and forget that you have a pacemaker implanted in your body.
No answers, just questions

I'm happy to say I have no personal experience with a-fib. I really don't know what's going on. But as I read your posts, I had several questions, questions you might want to pose to your cardiologist.
1. What are my pacemaker settings? The base rate--which the pacemaker won't go below and the highest rate---which the pacemaker won't push your heart above. It's normal for your heartrate to go up and down. As long as your pulse is between those two numbers. there's nothing to worry about. If your pulse is going below or above those numbers, that's something that needs to be asked about.
2. What is my pacemaker supposed to do about a-fib? Anything? or does a-fib need to be controlled some other way?
3. What are the implications of "being out of rhythm" 49 times in three months?
4. What drugs am I on that could be causing me to feel bad?
It seems to me that you have two separate problems, slow heart rate for which you have a pacemaker, and a-fib. To communicate effectively with your doctor, you need to sort them out so that you each know which you are talking about when you have discussions.
