Pacemaker

Had a pacemaker fitted 5 months ago but still get breathless. I thought they were to regulate everything?

    Thanks for reaching out.
    The purpose of a pacemaker is to monitor the heart rate and send electrical impulses to the right atrium or right ventricle of the heart to start each heartbeat when it is needed.
    However, sometimes devices need adjustment. I would reach out to your healthcare team with your concerns.

    Have you found any improvement?

      Hopefully, the chest X-ray will answer any concerns.
